The Daily Troika: Romney Beefs Up
As we clumsily and incompletely hinted at yesterday, Gov. Mitt Romney is beefing up his campaign policy team, announcing today that R. Glenn Hubbard of Columbia and Greg Mankiw of Harvard will advise him on economics. Both men are, of course, former chairs of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Bush. The other interesting new name to political junkies will be Cesar Conda, a former domestic policy aide to Vice President Cheney who heretofore was a committed supporter of Sen. George Allen. Conda will serve as a senior policy adviser.
Romney and company head to Miami, FL today to prepare for his exit from the Republican Governors Association conference. His contingent will be joined there by a large number of John McCain's senior-most advisers, including John Weaver, McCain's political guru. Several McCain friendly governors will be in Romney's audience.
