Rudy Vet Joins McCain

Rudy Joining Ben Porritt, as noted by The New York Daily News Blog, one of Rudy Giuliani’s most loyal aides from his failed presidential bid has found her way to Camp McCain.  Maria Comella, a former campaign spokeswoman for Giuliani, will serve as press secretary for John McCain’s vice presidential pick.

A tireless worker, Comella had the mostly thankless job of tending to the daily wants and needs of the Giuliani traveling press corp.  She also earned her stripes in Rudyland — where loyalty is prized above all else — by sticking around to help Giuliani even after he dropped out of the race.  (NY Daily News Blog)
