Edwards Vet Heads North To Help Al Franken

Eric Schultz, national spokesman for former North Carolina senator John Edwards's 2008 presidential bid, has signed on as deputy campaign manager for the foundering Senate bid of entertainer Al Franken in Minnesota.

Schultz, who was heavily lobbied by national Democrats to take the job, will have a broad role in the campaign -- overseeing the communications, research and speechwriting arms. He, along with highly regarded campaign manager Stephanie Schriock, media consultants Mandy Grunwald and Saul Shorr, and pollsters Diane Feldman and Roy Temple, will form Franken's political inner circle as he heads for a general election clash against Sen. Norm Coleman (R).

"I'm excited to head to Minnesota to help Al Franken change the Norm in Washington," said Schultz. HEYOOOO!
