McCain Tried to Hire AP Reporter Ron Fornier
McCain Tried to Hire AP Reporter
from Taegan Goddard's Political Wire

"Before Ron Fournier returned to the Associated Press in March 2007, the veteran political reporter had another professional suitor: John McCain's presidential campaign," according to Politico.

"In October 2006, the McCain team approached Fournier about joining the fledgling operation... Fournier was considered for 'a senior advisory role' in communications."

McCain aide Mark Salter says Fournier "was an attractive target because of his knowledge about the political process, not because of his ideological or partisan leanings. Salter says he still does not know what, if any, those are."
