Washingtonian: Madden's Stock On The Rise!

Washingtonian's Garrett Graff writes in this month's "Capital Comment" that Kevin Madden, Mitt Romney's former press chief and veteran Capitol Hill aide, is "loved by the media and at some point seems destined for the White House briefing-room podium." He received the coveted "up" arrow. Madden, who has moved back to Washington following the campaign, has artfully managed to remain a key player in D.C.'s highly-competitive spin market. You can watch him tonight on Washingtonpost.com and Newsweek.com, along side Karen Finney, spokesperson for the DNC, as they debate the issues throughout the night following the Pennsylvania primary.
