Rumor Debunked: Comstock's Not Leaving Team Romney

The hot rumor: Barbara Comstock, friend of Jeri Kehn, is leaving Mitt Romney's campaign for Fred Thompson's campaign. Comstock, a former DoJ comm. dir and Republican communications/op research strategist, is one of Romney's principal political advisers.

Truth: Kevin Madden, Romney spokesman, tells us:"It's nonsense."

Supporting evidence: Both Thompson and Romney were making the rounds on Saturday night at the WHCA dinner. Comstock was with Romney. [MARC AMBINDER]
