McCain hires Giuliani's campaign manager

Senator John McCain, presumptive GOP nominee for the 2008 presidential elections, is essentially relaunching his campaign after months of trailing in the polls nation-wide.

Amid staff shakeups, McCain recently hired Steve Schmidt to manage the campaign's day-to-day operations. In his first move as campaign manager, Schmidt has hired former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani's campaign manager, Mike DuHaime, to the position of political director.

DuHaime previously acted as the RNC's political director, and worked for the Bush-Cheney 2004 campaign as regional political director.
