Sullivan to Chair South Carolina Efforts

Mitt Romney announced today that South Carolina political operative Terry Sullivan will be overseeing his Exploratory Committee's effort in South Carolina. Sullivan managed Jim Demint's successful run in South Carolina's 2004 Senate race and Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson’s re-election win in 2006.

When asked yesterday to assess Romney's prospects in South Carolina, Sullivan said: "This isn't a race where we're going to win the endorsement battles or have the most endorsements. It's certainly not a race where we start out as a front runner. We're a huge underdog."
