BOSTON (AP) — One word defines Mitt Romney's inner circle: loyal.

Excerpts:

THE FRIEND

—Bob White. He doesn't have an official title, but he's worked with Romney since both were partners at Bain Capital, the private equity firm Romney helped start. Romney called White for help running the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City, and he's been involved in every one of Romney's political campaigns. He has an office at headquarters and often leads meetings.

Wonder if he knows anything about these events:

THE SAGE

— Ed Gillespie. He's one of the few Romney aides with extensive presidential campaign experience. He headed the Republican National Committee during President George W. Bush's 2004 re-election campaign and later joined the White House as an adviser. Gillespie is the only senior adviser to join Romney's campaign this year.

The "SAGE" who delivered the worst talking point ever.

THE ATTACK DOG

—Eric Fehrnstrom. A former newspaper reporter, Fehrnstrom has served as Romney's spokesman since he was governor. He frequently travels with Romney and is considered an authority on Romney's record in Massachusetts.

Yeah, the "attack dog" who permanently branded Romney's flip-flopping as Etch-A-Sketch.

THE GURUS

—Stuart Stevens and Russ Schriefer. Longtime partners, they are Romney's ad makers and senior strategists. Stevens, the lead speechwriter , is at Romney's side on the campaign trail. Romney frequently calls him after big campaign moments to check in and discuss developments.
