Oy…. Juan McCain’s vast expanse of Blatant Stupidity never ceases to amaze me.
ABC News has learned that Sen. John McCain’s campaign has hired Mike DuHaime as political director, the first new hire by Steve Schmidt in his capacity as the person in charge of day-to-day campaign operations.
DuHaime had served as a senior advisor for political operations at the Republican National Commitee since March, but now he will head up the political team from within the McCain operation.
The move comes as the McCain campaign essentially relaunches its general election effort, after weeks of complaints in Republicans circles that McCain, R-Ariz., has been slow to find his footing against Illinois Democrat Sen. Barack Obama.
DuHaime most recently managed the failed presidential campaign of former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. DuHaime brings years of experience, organizing on behalf of Republicans at the state and local level, to the job. Notably, DuHaime served as political director of the Republican National Committee, and as regional political director for the Bush-Cheney re-election campaign in 2004.
I hate to say it, but that was a big time boneheaded move and the Liberals are going to nail him on it, big time.
Claudia over at Poligazette puts it much better, than I can:
What do you do when you’re a Republican in a terrible year for Republicans, and when fellow Republicans have been complaining for weeks that you haven’t found your voice against your opponent? Well you do a shake-up of course. And who do you bring in to be your new political director? Well a former senior advisor to one of the most disasterously missmanaged campaigns this season, of course!
Ha! So true. No wonder some republicans are buying these stickers like mad:
