Maybe Ed Rollins for Reagan’s re-election, but he was a Reagan loyalist.
In 1984 against Mondale, Reagan could have picked Tiny Tim to run his campaign ;)

Winner! It’s the people you pick to work for you that reveals your judgment.
What did I do to cause you to ping me to this thread and lecture me?
BINGO! He doesn't need to do anything but give his speeches, give his interviews, and let this happen on his behalf. Ironically, when Walker was "winning" talk radio, the internet, etc, HE was winning and getting millions a day in publicity too. This is the new Republican Primary...the Rush Drudge Breitbart primary. It's the ONLY way for a non estab to win the nomination, period.
The warning would be, if he says or does anything to run afoul of this group, it will hurt significantly. If Rush would but be a little more balanced, it would in fact IMO.
Can anyone name the last mainstream operative to win an election?

Obama had Axelrod, who certainly was fully loyal to him
As much as we have come to dislike Rove, he was a loyal nobody when W. was elected the first time
Carter had Caddell
Reagan had true believers the first time
Clinton had ‘Serpenthead’
Doesn’t seem to be a secret. Keep the people who got you there . . . at least they bought into you as a person first.
Makes you wonder how Walker "manages" Wisconsin.

A campaign manager is an extension of the candidate, his personality, his values and his experience.
Scott Walker didn’t know how to run a national campaign.
That’s why he flamed out. If he didn’t know how to husband his money and prepare for the long haul, he wasn’t ready for the big leagues.
It didn’t need to turn out this way. Running a campaign with no message, a bloated staff and lack of discipline was a sure fire recipe for failure.
Its a textbook lesson on how not to run for a presidential nomination.
“Makes you wonder how Walker “manages” Wisconsin.”
Yep, TOTALLY CLUELESS as to what was going on around him. Thankfully we Republicans figured that much out before it was too late.
Rick Wiley, a former Republican National Committee political director who did some work for the Christie-led Republican Governors Association last year, has been hired as a national political adviser by Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker...
Wiley worked from 2013 until recently as a managing director in the Washington office of Mercury Public Affairs, the firm where Christie's lead political strategist, Michael DuHaime, is a partner.
Methinks Christie isn't beyond a few dirty tricks to remove the competition.
