Beth Myers, who is heading Mitt Romney’s search for a running mate, explained her role to CBS News. “I’ll put all the information on the table,” but Mitt “is the decider.”
Myers also shared a little bit about what the process will look like, even though she hasn’t even selected the staff who will work with her yet.
From CBS:
Like any Romney campaign decision, this one will be driving by facts and data, something Myers said with confidence even though she hasn’t even yet begun the process of choosing a staff to assist her or plotting strategy.
“I think he felt comfortable that I would get him the information in a way so that he would make the best decision,” she said.
Eric Fehrnstrom, another of Romney’s senior advisers and her partner at a consulting company called the Shawmut Group, ticked off other qualities that were a factor in the selection: her background as a lawyer, methodical approach to problem solving, and organizational skills. As an example of her managerial abilities, he pointed to her role in managing the process of preparing Romney for the nearly two dozen debates during the primary.
