Yes, the Perry need some seriously professional help was obvious. But it’s not like there aren’t hundreds of qualified political operatives who could have filled the bill. Yet, Perry selects a guy that just so happened to have worked for Cain? It’s the kind of coincidence that really stretches credulity.
You can’t hire anyone anywhere who has not worked for someone else at one time or other, that is a fact of life in politics.
THere really aren’t hundreds of qualified political operatives. There are a small number of elites who can really work at a presidential campaign level, and many of them are already committed to campaigns.
Are you seriously arguing that once you work on someone’s campaign, you can never work for any other campaign if the guy you worked for is running? That seems like an odd rule to me.
