A new job for Jim Messina

[solarstorm]

The SPD wants to engage Obama's chief campaigner: Jim Messina helped provide Obama with a surprising re-election victory. Now he is going to support the Social Democrats in the upcoming federal election campaign.

The Willy Brandt House is carrying negotiations with the 45-year-old campaign expert. Party leader Sigmar Gabriel is very interested in signing. Parliamentary leader Thomas Oppermann was already in talks with Messina in Washington last October.

The SPD headquarters confirmed the negotiations with the Obama aid to the news magazine Der Spiegel. The Willy Brandt House said that they fondly hope to gain knowledge acquisition from the campaigns of the Democratic Party in the United States.

Messina relies on the use of social networks in election campaigns. The Obama victory of 2012 was, if nothing else, the result of an innovative campaign strategy in the social web.

Jim Messina was/is also an adviser to Max Baucus, Jon Tester and the UK Conservative Party.

"Surprising"?

That's what the original article wrote.
One mustn't forget that Romney was temporarily leading in the polls.

Working for the Tories = HP.

That's what I thought. His political views seem to be pretty flexible...
