TPMmuckraker picked up on a Wall Street Journal article about former Senator Fred Thompson’s pending presidential candidacy announcement that former Karl Rove aide and RNC hatchet man, Tim Griffin, is reportedly in talks to join the campaign.
Backers look for Fred Thompson to use a June 2 speech to Virginia Republicans to step closer toward the race. Thompson allies have had discussions with Tim Griffin, the Arkansas U.S. attorney and Rove protégé, about taking a top job with the campaign.
Griffin, the RNC Opposition Research Director in 2004 for Bush/Cheney, would have his work cut out of him considering the current crop of Republican front runners.
Something to say?
