Republican Fred Thompson, hoping to solidify his ever-changing inner circle for a Republican presidential bid, has named strategist Todd Harris to head his communications department.
Harris, a former aide to Sen. John McCain and California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, will replace Linda Rozett who left the fledgling campaign operation earlier this week, according to a Thompson aide who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Harris served as deputy communications director to McCain during the Arizona senator's 2000 presidential race.
He was communications director to then-Gov. Jeb Bush for the 2002 gubernatorial campaign in Florida.
Harris worked for Schwarzenegger from 2003 to 2005. He is currently a consultant in Washington.
Thompson, an all-but-declared candidate, sidelined his campaign-manager-in-waiting, Tom Collamore, and watched a few other aides follow him out the door amid consternation inside the operation about the active role of Thompson's wife, Jeri.
He is expected to formally launch his candidacy shortly after Labor Day.
I sure hope that Fred isn’t planning on having McPain as his V.P. if that is the case, I won’t vote for Fred.....
Oh, thank goodness ... I was thinking Katherine Harris when I saw the headline. Heart attack! Heart attack!
A maverick.
“Oh, thank goodness ... I was thinking Katherine Harris when I saw the headline.””
I hope you didn’t stir up the Harris piranhas again, those were the ugliest threads I have ever seen, anywhere.

Thompson better go easy on the “tapping” business until Senator Craig disappears from the radar screen.
Apparently there are a nuimber of insatiable types around here. If Thompson had kept Rozett, they’d be criticizing him for having an amateur PR person. If his wife didn’t take a part in the campaign they say his marriage was shaky. No news here, just criticizm without substance.
Maybe Craig could work with McCain on a new version of the “tap code”....
I’m sure it was no mistake that the headline writer used the word “taps” after all the Larry Craig stuff...
Yea!!!! Kitty is Back! Just like the good ole days. Is Newt around too. Let’s see pictures of Kitty and her horsee.
Daily Fred Thompson Fact
Before Fred Thompson can announce his candidacy for president, his campaign has to file an environmental impact statement.
Once again Fred Thompson’s tacky wife has completely restructured Fred’s struggling, cash-starved campaign. This news (coupled with the reports of Fred’s recent death) has me convinced that Fred has no intention of actually running for President.
Let’s hope “guilt by association” is not here operative.
“I sure hope that Fred isnt planning on having McPain as his V.P. “
other way around.
(Bashes head against brick wall)
I BELIEVE!
How about a reunion guys, eh? :-)
LOL, that picture was the only thing I liked about those threads, wasn’t there a popular second one?
