Perry's New Team Already Knows How To Win

As opposed to his OLD team which knew how to... ????

My question is: Why not START with people who "know how to win"?

Perry probably needs people who know how to do cosmetic reconstruction.

They have to be able to paper over all the holes in the wall and make the smelly laundry palatable. LOL

I think his old team knew how to win on the state level and were experts in the issues that were most important to Texas.

Maybe Perry started with them out of loyalty. Or maybe he didn't realize the huge difference in areas like media relations and image perception between a state-wide campaign and a national one.

Unlike Romney who's been running a presidential campaign for 5 years, Perry's only been in for a few months and is still learning how to do it right. These new hires should go a long way toward that.
