Doug Wead Joins Paul Campaign as Senior Advisor

From Rand's website:

Rand Paul for President today announces the addition of Doug Wead as Senior Adviser and Religious Liaison.

Doug Wead is an Indiana native, Presidential historian, New York Times bestselling author and former Special Assistant to the President in the George H.W. Bush White House. He worked on evangelical outreach with both George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush. Wead is a veteran of six presidential campaigns, most recently serving as a Senior Adviser to Ron Paul's 2012 presidential bid. Doug Wead wrote Ronald Reagan's campaign biography in 1980 and served three times with Mrs. Reagan as Co-Chairman of the bi-partisan Charity Awards Dinner. In 1988 he authored a book of interviews with George H.W. Bush. Wead is commonly credited with having coined the phrase "compassionate conservative."

Even though Wead's inclusion didn't seem to help Ron's campaign immensely, the elder Paul was also far more outside the GOP mainstream than Rand and at a different time, when some of the libertarian ideals both Pauls preach didn't have time to incubate in the minds of future voters.
