McCain Campaign Brings On Board Yet Another Operative McCain Once Blamed For Sliming Him During 2000 South Carolina Primary
October 18, 2008 1:29 PM

ABC News has learned that Warren Tompkins, one of the strategists of then-Gov. George W. Bush's South Carolina campaign in 2000 -- which Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., blamed for his family being slimed -- is now a part of the McCain-Palin campaign team, albeit in an "unofficial" role.

Tompkins, a protégé of Lee Atwater, has been dispatched to North Carolina to assess the state for the McCain-Palin campaign, Southern GOP strategists tell ABC News.

The McCain campaign says only that Tompkins has "no official role" with the campaign. The Raleigh News and Observer spotted Tompkins in the state "surveying North Carolina for the McCain campaign to determine what can be done to shore up the state."

The news of Tompkins being brought on board the McCain campaign brings to a total of three the number of GOP operatives McCain now is using despite the fact that he once held them responsible for the ugly campaign that contributed to his South Carolina primary defeat, a campaign in which McCain's wife Cindy was attacked for her past addiction to painkillers, and the McCains' adopted Bangladeshi daughter Bridget was targeted as his illegitimate black baby.

Last month, to the dismay of many McCain 2000 alumni, McCain hired another former Palmetto State opponent, Tucker Eskew.

This week, as a wave of robocalls attacking Obama has been reported across the country, and some of those calls have been tied to Jeff Larson and his firm FLS-Connect, a client of Bush's in 2000, whom McCain's team back then held responsible for anti-McCain robocalls....

1. I used to think he had some honor

If he ever did it's all truly gone now. He decided to sell out everything he ever said he believed in to run a KKKarl Rove campaign in a desperate bid for the White House. I hope that when he loses he realizes everything he lost, chief among them his integrity.

4. I agree. I really liked the guy back in 2000! My guess is that

these creeps are contacting McNuts & saying you're LOSING!!! I can help you win! He wants to win sooo bad, he's now willing to try anything.

5. "no official role"

Right...just how Karl Rove says that he provides the campaign with advice, but has no "official role".

6. I hope he realizes that he has totally destroyed his legacy.

He will be remembered as a slimeball, not a maverick and a war hero.

He has lost his honor.

7. Yeah right, McHypocrite, just like Rove has "no official role"....n/t

8. How he can embrace the people that smeared his daughter his beyond me

Say what you want about Hillary or Barack, but if somebody went after their kids, you know there's no chance in hell they'd ever have anything to do with that person again. Let alone bring them onto their campaigns.

Mccain isn't even man enough to defend his daughter's honor.

9. I don't think he ever had any honor or integrity. It was all a show.

A show to get us Dems and independents on his side. He has sold his soul to the devil but it looks desperate.

10. I'd love it if his daughter called him on this shit. NOTHING is worth trashing your own family..

.. not even the presidency.

11. McCain in 2000 "I believe that there is a special place in hell for people like those."
