Mitt Romney's campaign announced Tuesday that it has hired staff for the presumptive Republican nominee's future running mate, further fueling speculation that the GOP hopeful will announce his pick soon.
Randy Bumps, the former political director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, will serve as the director of operations for the eventual vice presidential pick. And Kevin Sheridan, a former spokesman for the Republican National Committee, will serve as the running mate's communications director.
Im proud to add Randy and Kevin to our growing team, said campaign manager Matt Rhoades in a statement. They both have enjoyed long and distinguished careers in our party. Their work will be vital as we move forward in the campaign to defeat President Obama and elect Mitt Romney.
The announcement comes as speculation mounts that Romney will announce his pick soon. Doing so could help the Republican challenger put to bed the Obama campaign's tough attacks on his tenure at Bain Capital, and provide an important surrogate to remain in the United States during Romney's international trip later this month.

I haven’t been this excited since they last delivered the phone book.
Not that it would matter much since we would then have Governor Calley.
I got the idea from a Tampa news story better than a month ago. They were talking about the fact that Rick Snyder had gotten better room assignments than those that would normally go to the VP pick.
Is Snyder really that bad?
That’s too bad.
Interesting. They knew LeBron James was going to the Heat before he said so cause he booked a Miami hotel suite.
My neighbors left there’s untouched outside their building for months.
Seems like they are just a waste of paper nowadays.
Why would she be willing to take second chair 2 elections in a row? Palin is OUT for the foreseeable future...
Bob McDonnell.
“Bob McDonnell.”
A great pick, and Bobby Jindal or Rick Santorum would also energize the base (but I’d have to say that Mitt is not big enough to pick Rick, or even consider him).
Hmmm...indeed...
He doesn’t seem to be getting the kind of consideration I thought he would.
