Danny Diaz of FP1 Strategies, a Republican political consulting firm, will be former Florida Gov. Jeb Bushs campaign manager if Bush, as expected, announces hes running for president.
Its a big move by Bushs team, and a clear sign hes making efforts to win back conservative voters and make inroads party-wide rather than just winning the establishment side of the primaries. Diaz has a long-standing positive reputation with tons of top conservatives, and has been plugged in with not just establishment Republicans but conservatives Washington-wide for years.
Danny Diaz, a 39-year-old Washington, D.C., native who has worked for the past three Republican presidential nominees, will serve as campaign manager of Jeb Bushs anticipated presidential campaign, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday. The job of running day-to-day campaign operations had been expected to go to David Kochel, who will instead serve as chief strategist in early-nominating states, including Iowa, and across the country. Mr. Kochel ran 2012 nominee Mitt Romneys campaign in Iowa and was recruited by Mr. Bush in January when Mr. Romney was considering getting into the race.
Back in January, when Kochel joined Bushs team, the New York Times wrote that he was is in line to serve as Mr. Bushs national campaign manager.

You can’t “win back” conservative voters you never had in the first place, Jebby boy.
Anyone who`d work with this Progressive Globalist is no Conservative.
Suggested campaign motto for Bush: “Jeb Bush, the Status Quo Republicrat.”
Or, “If you like Obama, you’ll love Bush.”
He’s got no cred outside of DC. Another tone-deaf Jeb move.

Danny Diaz, a 39-year-old Washington, D.C., native who has worked for the past three Republican presidential nominees....
Can't seem to recall his name ever coming up as a serious advisor to Mitt Romney nor John McCain. And I'm pretty sure Karl Rove was managing the rodeo for Dubya.
So who the hell is Danny Diaz? Sounds like the GOPe version of Tommy Vietor.
Danny must have driven the van when Vietor was unavailable.
Well said. This guy has been a beltway guy all his life, worked for McCain, the RNC, and McCain. Yeah, a real conservative...just more of the same.
Oh, wait, different Danny. Sorry.

So he knows how to lose more than he knows how to win. The guy who lost to obama. Twice.
Great pick there, Jeb!
Yawn. No way I’ll vote for this leftist.
“According to the article, he’s been involved in the last three GOP presidential campaigns, so not a great track record.”
Hey, its not everyone who loses to the worst president in history...twice. Jeb sure knows how to pick them!
Reminds me of Bob Dole in 1996 hiring the same people who lost to clinton in 1992.
He worked on Romney’s losing campaign, too. Not just McCain’s losing campaign.
Diaz is not a conservative. He’s an RNC flunkee who helped John McCain and Mitt Romney lose.
