Diaz was formerly communications director for the Republican National Committee and is a founding partner at the firm FP1 Strategies.
In the 2008 election cycle, he was deputy communications director for John McCain's presidential campaign.
Sheridan is a senior vice president at the Edelman public relations firm.
He was press director for the U.S. Agency for International Development under the administration of President George W. Bush, and through 2004 was a spokesman and director of regional media for the RNC.
Romney's campaign has added staff as it transitions from the GOP primaries to general election mode.
His staff has also come under criticism this month from prominent Republicans Rupert Murdoch, chairman of News Corporation, and former General Electric Chairman and CEO Jack Welch.
Murdoch tweeted, "Tough O[bama] Chicago pros will be hard to beat unless he drops old friends from team and hires some real pros. Doubtful."

As a former business owner, when I signed my name to a contract it was because I was the owner of the business; not becuase I was simply waiting for the paperwork to change over. How silly does that sound?? Three years after he supposedly "left" he's still the CEO, sole shareholder, and is signing contracts and SEC filings for the company?? C'mon republicans! You can't possibly be that naive! Or, can you? Kick this guy to the curb!! He's been lying to you all along...
New people, same, lame candidate.
