Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush has snagged a top GOP operative with ties to the presidential campaigns of Mitt Romney and Rick Perry.
Until recently, Austin Barbour was running a super PAC backing Perry's presidential campaign. But the former Texas governor bowed out this month, and Barbour joined Team Bush officially Monday as a senior adviser focused on finance and political operations.
Barbour and campaign officials confirmed the hire, which was first reported by Politico.
During the 2012 race, Barbour was a deputy to top Romney adviser Stuart Stevens and helped with fundraising and get-out-the-vote efforts in early states. More recently, he was credited with reviving Sen. Thad Cochran's 2014 reelection campaign as it faced a strong challenge from Chris McDaniel.

Does this mean they are going to be paying blacks to vote for Jeb in the primaries?

Jeb, go for the trifecta, announce that Rumsfeld will be a key in your administration.
That will give you the lock.

That’s always my question.
A guy goes down in flames, and others jump in to hire the guy that forgot to gas up his plane.

It’s good to see he got another paying gig with a failing campaign.

Barbour is a money man who operates in the shadows with the likes of Tom Daschle and Terry McAuliffe. His addition to this team should be all anyone needs to know about the Bush agenda.
