In another sign that Republicans are uniting behind Mitt Romney with an eye to November, Rick Santorum's national campaign manager has signed on as Romney's deputy national director of coalitions.
The Union Leader reports today that the Romney camp reached out to New Hampshire-based activist Mike Biundo not long after Santorum left the race for a post that will involve coalition-building with key conservative coalitions such as "tea party activists, evangelicals, the pro-life community and the Second Amendment community."
Santorum has yet to formally endorse Romney, and his camp has been careful to note that a scheduled May 4 meeting between them is not for the purposes of announcing an endorsement.
In a sign of the residual awkwardness between the GOP rivals, Biundo explained that before signing on with Romney, he "made sure it was OK" with his former boss.
“They called shortly after Rick dropped out,” Biundo said. “We had several conversations. I spoke with Rick and made sure it was OK with him before I moved, and he gave his full blessing on it.”
Just read on Newsmax that Rick Perry is strongly considering a run for president in 2016! good man indeed. Also, Santorum is considering a run. We shall see.
“....They managed to pull off a tie in Michigan when Mittens defeated Mcain by 10 percentage points here in 08.”
Thanks for bringing that up.
Rick’s CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES and energy, together with a great campaign manager, helped them to win so many elections on a shoestring budget. It seems like they accomplished the impossible.
