Subscribe to RSSCaption: Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry was asked about reports of campaign staff shakeups in New Hampshire tonight. Perry dismissed the reports as "just scuttlebutt."
Asked about reports late Tuesday that campaign manager Rob Johnson and senior adviser Dave Carney had been demoted, GOP candidate Rick Perry said the rumors were "just scuttlebutt."
"News to me, I've talked to both of them within as a matter of fact the last 24 hours. So if they have, news to me."
"So I would suggest to you that's just scuttlebutt, highly technical Aggie term for 'not correct,'" he said.
Perry said that Joe Allbaugh, who joined the campaign last month, is "the make the trains run on time guy and does a fabulous job."
Asked if Allbaugh has taken on duties that were previously conducted by Carney or Johnson, Perry responded: "That's not in my purview. So I try to get out and be the best candidate I can be every day. And the best I can tell everybody's working hard and getting the work done."
"I'm a happy camper and that's a good thing," he said.

Atta boy...just a few more cliches and you're a shoe-in for the nomination!
Being a member of Perry's staff is a demotion in itself.
Does it come with a paper bag?
"I don't know if my campaign staff was demoted or not. Did you really expect me to know that? Are you 21?
I thought they were jumping ship as it sinks ! One said its over !
Didn't part of the staff leave Gingrich campaign because he wasn't a serious candidate and joined the Perry campaign?
Some of them might be having rats left the sinking ship of Gingrich too soon remorse. I too thought Perry would be the nomination because he had the religious qualifications, I had no ideal he was such a doofus.
They now look to Gingrich, the one thrown out of congress on ethnic charges, as the brains of the outfit. Sad thing, he is, when put next to the rest of the crop of hopefuls. You could run Gingrich/Cain two men cut from the same cloth. They already have a lot in common. You know, the family values party.
Offhand I can't see how gay marriages had anything to do with how these men treated their family and the broken sacred vows. I wonder when the we are responsible crowd is going to take the responsiblility for their own marriages and quit blaming the gay folk who have nothing to do with their marriage.
Obama/Biden 2012 the only sensible choice
Two stories on Perry campaign staff reorg, and nothing about the big NY Times piece that the Obama campaign is writing off "the white working class"? That would seem to be a big political story.
Even the Times wanders off the Obama reservation, once in a while.
"The first place for news and analysis [that favors Obama] from the NBC News Political Unit"
Stop bitching about stuff on some other blog-thread. Focus not Fauxnewsus.
Bob, love your Nobody But Obama logo.
Other than that if all you do is bitch about this blog use some of that personal freedom and go someplace that will make you happy.
At the same time you can make us happy too. A win-win, I love those kind of deals.

...booby loves him some Barack....
Scary Perry is so popular, no one is bothering to post on his stories! Much more action on the Herman Cain stories! "...and another one bites the dust!"
