Rep. Eric Cantor’s press secretary Stacey Johnson is taking a leave of absence from the Virginia Republican’s office to work on another campaign – and it’s not the Cantor for V.P. campaign.
In what may be a sign that McCain is no longer looking at Cantor as potential running mate, the Cantor spokeswoman will begin her leave this week.
Johnson said she will drive to Minnesota Saturday, where she’ll coordinate the media effort for Republican State Senator Erik Paulsen’s congressional bid. Paulsen faces Democrat Ashwin Madia in the race for Minnesota’s third congressional district seat being vacated by Republican Rep. Jim Ramstad.
