12/22/2012, “The story behind Mitt Romney’s loss in the presidential campaign to President Obama," Boston Globe, Michael Kranish
Total Romney staff in all states: 500
Total Obama staff in all states: 3000
Florida Romney staff: 200 (almost half his total US staff)
Florida Obama staff: 770
Ohio Romney offices: 40
Ohio Obama offices: 123
Colorado Romney offices: 15
Colorado Obama offices: 59
"Building on its 2008 field organization, Obama’s campaign had far more people on the ground, for longer periods,
and backed by better data. In Florida, for example, the Romney campaign
said it had fewer than 200 staff members on the ground, a huge
commitment of its total of 500 nationwide. But the Obama campaign had
770 staff in Florida out of 3,000 or so nationwide.
“They had more staff in Florida than we had in the country, and for longer,” said Romney adviser Ron Kaufman.
In swing state after swing state,
the Obama field team was much bigger than the Romney troops. Obama had
123 offices in Ohio, compared with Romney’s 40. Obama had 59 offices in
Colorado, compared with Romney’s 15, according to statistics compiled by
the Obama campaign."...
