Romney hires Bachmann's debate coach.

TAMPA, Fla. — With another potentially crucial debate on Monday night, Mitt Romney has apparently recruited a top debate coach to help out.

Brett O’Donnell, who served as one of Michele Bachmann’s top strategists, was standing quietly at the back of the room Monday morning as Mr. Romney held his first event, a round table with Florida residents and small-business owners.

He quietly slipped out again with other top advisers to Mr. Romney, who is holding debate prep sessions in the Sheraton hotel where the morning event took place.

“Brett’s been working with us for some time, since Michele Bachmann got out of the race,” said Andrea Saul, a spokeswoman for Mr. Romney.

crazy to compete with Newt I guess you could make pretty good use out of Michele Bachmann's debate coach.

...I don't think anyone who identifies him/herself as "one of Michele Bachmann’s top strategists" would be high on a hire list!!
