Thompson Appoints NH Political Director

Fred Thompson's New Hampshire operation now has a state political director.

In a press release, the Thompson campaign announced that it has hired Christopher "Woody" Wood, to be their New Hampshire political director.

Wood has extensive experience in Granite State Republican campaigns. He has worked on campaigns for Pat Buchanan, Steve Forbes and most recently Manchester Mayor Frank Guinta. Wood also has worked for various conservative groups including Victory New Hampshire and Citizens for a Sound Economy.

We don't want to make Woody's first day on the job a difficult one, but perhaps he can dispel the rumor that Fred is not scheduled to visit the state until early-October.
