Gitcho is one of many members of Romney’s senior staff heading into the 2012 race that also worked for his first presidential bid. Campaign manager-in-waiting Matt Rhoades served as Romney’s 2008 communications director; Peter Flaherty, Spencer Zwick, Kevin Madden and Eric Fehrnstrom are also all expected to reprise roles as Romney senior strategists in the coming race.
Romney has also worked to expand beyond his 2008 circle, however, signing on Neil Newhouse -- Brown’s pollster — to handle survey research for the campaign and Rich Beeson, a former top aide at the Republican National Committee, to serve as political director.
