Fred Thompson's 'trophy wife' runs the show

"Mr Thompson, 64, a former senator and actor who is running second in most polls of Republican nominees even before he has officially declared his candidacy, last week replaced his campaign manager in a shake-up of his top team - which, it has emerged, was initiated by his wife.

Another senior aide quit after clashes with Mrs Thompson, a youthful-looking 40, who is in effect managing her husband's White House bid and has hiring and firing authority over staff, according to campaign insiders.

A campaign aide, also speaking anonymously, told The Washington Post that Mrs Thompson decided everything from the content of direct mailings to the date for her husband to make his official declaration, now expected at the end of the summer. "You name it - anything," said the aide." Source

It's great that the wife is involved, but does she even have the experience from running a presidential campaign? Probably not. I'm willing to bet those staffers quit because she had no idea what she was doing and micromanaging. You better hire someone who has done one, because the heat only goes higher and higher.
