OMGZ ! Scandal !
No, it's Nick - not
Bill:
Tim Pawlenty on Monday named Nick Ayers as his exploratory committee's campaign manager, locking down a top national operative for his all-but-certain presidential campaign.
"He is without question one of the best political talents in America," Pawlenty said of the former Republican Governors Association executive director. "We are very excited Nick will lead our team. His leadership and record of winning tough races in every part of our country will provide even more momentum to our campaign to get America back on track."
Ayers will be moving to Minneapolis and will start work on April 25. At 28 years old, Ayers is one of the GOP's young stars and top consultants. He headed the RGA during its massive gains of the 2010 cycle, and oversaw historic fundraising that topped $100 million.
After leaving the RGA, Ayers aided the transition of newly elected Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus. Prior to his national-level work, Ayers ran former Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue’s successful 2006 reelection campaign and served as senior political aide.
