We have all heard by now of the shuffling of campaign staff at John McCain's headquarters.
via TPM we learn that the shuffling is to make room for some of Rove's proteges.

Seems like a normal shakeup story, but if you follow the link in the update you'll find out
Mr. Schmidt's elevation is the latest sign of increasing influence of veterans of Mr. Rove's campaign efforts in the McCain operation. Nicolle Wallace, who was communications director for Mr. Bush in the 2004 campaign and in his White House, has joined the campaign as a senior adviser, and will travel with Mr. McCain every other week. Greg Jenkins, another veteran of Mr. Rove's operation, has joined the McCain communications operation.
So evidently John McCain doesn't think his campaign has gone far enough into Rovian territory, and maybe he was hoping that if he did it while out of the country nobody would notice.
Expect more fear and smear coming soon....
