After reports that Mitt Romney media advisor Alex Castellanos was spotted having lunch with Fred Thompson last month, NH Insider "is now hearing rumors from Washington, D.C. insiders that another top Romney strategist with close ties to Thompson is definitely planning on leaving Romney if Thompson enters the fray. NH Insider sources tell us that Barbara Comstock, who currently serves as senior advisor to Romney, is all but ready to jump to Thompson if and when he jumps into the race."
Thompsonís wife Jeri Kehn is said to be among Comstockís best friends.
