A South Carolina Republican source not affiliated with any ‘08 campaign points out a glaring omission in Team Romney’s official release announcing their big get in the early primary state -no mention of Warren Tompkins’ work as the top Bush strategist in the now-legendary (and, for McCain’s camp, not forgotten) ’00 SC primary that put the Texas governor back on course for the White House after his loss in New Hampshire.
We wonder if this was a mere oversight or if it twas part of an intentional effort to play down the “Bush-McCain II” storyline that they could do without.
