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.
Well, this is one of those occasions where someone brings up something I have never specifically thought about. Lets see... I dont mind hotdog as otherwise it might be interpreted as trying to save an overheated pooch?
We dont say ham burger. Ok, I will spend the rest of the morning pondering this one.
