As teased earlier on the site today, Sen. Kit Bond announced that Jason Van Eaton and Matt Roney are moving over from the official to the campaign side of his operation.
(Note to young Dems — if the names Jason Van Eaton and Matt Roney don’t ring any bells, you have a good excuse — you’ve never seen their names on any Dem blogs tied to any sort of scandal.)
The success of Van Eaton and Roney as political strategists — and, more importantly, as husbands and fathers — has made some people envious. But for those of us young bucks who aspire to lead meaningful lives, Jason and Matt are pretty good role models to emulate.
The complete statement from the Bond operation is here.
