They were both cheerleaders in college, both were pilots in military service, both from Texas, both moderate Repubs big on govt spending, both are in favor of amnesty for illegals, and Perry just hired Bush’s campaign team...but, nah, they never heard of each other.
Ho-kay.
Nope he hired Jay Carney and Newt's campaign team who had quit when Newt and his wife went on vacation.
Jay Carney had previously worked for Perry but went to Newt back when Perry showed no interest in running.
