Former Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez, who served as both Democratic foil and dealmaker with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, has joined the high-powered public relations firm whose California office is currently occupied by Schwarzenegger's former campaign manager and communications director.

Núñez, a Los Angeles Democrat, will be the newest partner and co-chair of Mercury Public Affairs, LLC, a political firm with offices in seven cities across the country, according to a letter he has sent to supporters.

Steve Schmidt, who was the architect of Schwarzenegger's reelection campaign, and Adam Mendelsohn, the governor's former communications director and deputy chief of staff, are the current partners in Mercury's California office.

Schmidt was Sen. John McCain's campaign manager during this fall's presidential election. Terry Nelson, who served as McCain's campaign manager until his resignation in the summer of 2007, is also a Mercury partner, as is former McCain campaign spokesman Brian Jones.

Núñez's presence in the GOP-leaning firm gives the public affairs group a foothold among Democratic interests in California, the nation's most populous state.

[nufsed]

Is there any way to get these criminals out of politics for a few years after they leave office?

[NormsRevenge]

Sadly, No. There used to be a thing called an honor system, long gone missing..

[calcowgirl]

Whores, you say?

Third way?

Post partisanship?

or... taxpayer fleecing?

Do they also trade carbon credits?

Any statistics on their exact success rate, for the candidates they have assisted, broken down by party?
