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.

Jeb just proved once and for all he’s a dumbazz. I’ll never vote for Jeb, just check my tagline.
Jeb and the Barbours belong together in the uniparty.
I believe Jeb Bush doesn’t listen very much to the general public, as for one he would realize that there are very few who would like to see a Bush dynasty established. Of course this is not the only reason, just one of several. If he had any sense he would be happy just being a good governor, and bask in its glory, and forget about the presidency which never was meant to be his. Unfortunately a big ego and common sense very seldom run along the same track.
Titanic springs two more holes...
Are Steve Schmidt and Nicole Wallace next? Fred Karger?
"Jeb's my boy, and don't y'all forget it!"
And bring in Ed Rollins as a consultant!
ROTFLMAO!!! The drowning Jebbie desperately grabs an anvil.
Your money is dirt there jebby.
He’s quite the strategist.
I’m sold now. As soon as he mentioned Romney I said Go Jeb Go. I mean it literally.
Bush is OWNED by big biz, and CoC. I’ll bet he has to wear a Chamber of Commerce ankle bracelet : )
