Fred Thompson Shakes Up Campaign Staff (AP)
Link

Republican presidential hopeful Fred Thompson is shaking up his still-unofficial campaign, replacing his top aide with a former Michigan senator and a veteran Florida strategist.

The shake-up comes amid consternation inside the campaign about the active role played by Thompson's wife, Jeri, a lawyer, media consultant and former Republican National Committee official.

"Rumors are rumors," said Thompson spokeswoman Linda Rozett. "It is not a personal issue. It's an organizational issue. We are strengthening the organization as we enter the next phase."

Acting campaign manager Tom Collamore will still advise Thompson, but his presidential operation will be run by the duo of former senator and energy secretary Spencer Abraham and a Florida GOP strategist, Randy Enright, according to Rozett.

3. Here's Spencer now.


After leaving BushCo, he started The Abraham Group.

He now works for Areva, a French (Surrender Monkeys, Spence?) nuclear energy concern.

4. I think Fred is proving ...
That he's too indecisive to be President.
