Myers, 55, an early protege of George W. Bush strategist Karl Rove, will be behind what is expected to be the first major presidential-style decision Romney will make. In an interview Monday, she said Romney will want “to hear a lot of voices, and he wants to get all the information he needs to then make his choice.”
Rove said Myers is up to the task. “She is capable of taking a large volume of information and distilling it, and she’s inexhaustible,” he said.Romney told ABC News’s Diane Sawyer that he has no specific deadline for making his selection, but that “it would certainly be by the time of the convention.” His wife, Ann, told Sawyer that this past weekend “was the first time we seriously really talked about it.”
