Will Murphy Join McCain Campaign?

Bill Kristol writes about GOP consultant Mike Murphy, noting that he stayed neutral during the presidential primaries because he had worked previously for both Sen. John McCain and Mitt Romney.

"Murphy remained close to both men, and as a result sat out the G.O.P. nominating contest this past year, not wishing to work against either of them. It was widely assumed, though, that if either McCain or Romney won the nomination, the winner would bring Murphy on board for the general election. So far it hasn't happened. I believe it soon will."

"I hasten to disclose that Murphy is a friend. I should also disclose that when I called to say I had heard he might well be signing on with McCain, he went Sergeant Schultz on me, saying nothing."
