(...) Roll Call has learned that Thune dropped Lisa Spies as his fundraiser, and in her place he hired Paula Dukes and Laura Rizzo.
An aide to the South Dakota Republican on Monday confirmed the move but declined to comment further.
The staff changes could be interpreted in multiple ways for those trying to gauge whether Thune, who serves as the Senate GOP Policy Committee chairman, is going to pull the trigger on a 2012 presidential run.
Spies specializes in raising money from political action committees in Washington, but she also has an extensive national reach, while Dukes and Rizzo are viewed as more traditional D.C.-oriented PAC fundraisers. Dukes was the PAC director at the National Republican Senatorial Committee last cycle. Accordingly, Thune’s decision to hire Dukes and Rizzo could signal that he is not inclined to run for president.
However, one of Spies’ clients is Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.), who is also mulling a White House bid. It is possible that she and Thune separated because of the conflict that would ensue if both Republican Members enter the GOP presidential primary. (...)

Yo no tengo dudas de que estamos ante el "gran tapado" de la candidatura republicana. Queda mucho y hace bien en no precipitarase. Obama está subiendo en popularidad pero si la economia no se reactiva y la tasa de paro no baja de los índices actuales no conseguirá la reelección.
Hoy sin embargo los medios liberales como The Washington Post indicaba que la reelección de Obama no era tan complicada y echaban cuentas. Las mías son las siguientes: conservar los estados que ganó McCain, que eso está prácticamente asegurado, más Indiana, muy probable, Ohio, Florida, Carolina del Norte y Virginia, con el nuevo computo del Colegio Electoral, me sale 271.
Thune si no es candidato a Presidente lo será a Vicepresidente.
