Jim Messina, who ran President Obama's 2012 re-election campaign, has now been hired as a campaign strategy adviser...for Britain's Conservative Party:

The Conservative Party has hired Barack Obama's campaign manager Jim Messina for its general election campaign team, BBC Newsnight has learned.
Sources confirmed that he would act as a campaign strategy adviser to the Conservative party.

A lifelong Democrat, Mr Messina masterminded the US president's successful 2012 re-election campaign.

The political parties in Westminster are readying themselves for the general election, now under two years away.

While the UK's Conservative Party, commonly referred to as the Tories, would be a centrist, if not center-left, party if they were an American political party, they are a center-right party in the UK. Personally, I view Jim Messina as a traitor for joining ranks with British Conservatives.

Jim Messina is the closest thing that our generation will ever have to a Benedict Arnold-like figure.
