Romney Campaign Chief to Head GOP Oppo Group

Former Mitt Romney campaign manager Matt Rhoades will lead a new GOP research outfit called “America Rising” dedicated to improving the party’s opposition research efforts, CNN reports.

Said Rhoades: “We plan to start this enterprise because so many Republicans seem to agree that there is a need on our side of the aisle for an entity that is focused on solely holding Democrats accountable for their actions and records using research, candidate tracking, rapid response and digital tools.”
