Mitt Romney needs to up his game in the debates and has brought on top debate coach and former advisor to the Bachmann campaign Brett O’Donnell, reports the New York Times.
“Brett’s been working with us for some time, since Michele Bachmann got out of the race,” said Andrea Saul, a spokeswoman for Mr. Romney.
Mr. O’Donnell is a veteran of presidential debates, having served as a top debate coach to Senator John McCain of Arizona during the 2008 campaign. In that role, he helped prepare Mr. McCain for debates against Mr. Romney and brings those insights to the current sessions.
