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."

Looks like Mittens listens to his boss Rupert Murdoch. Good boy, Mittens!
so...the teleprompter candidate is adding 2 more lackeys......retreads from McCain and Duh Duh Duh-bya....ho hum
Romney already tanked and doesn't know it .its his turn . Not .
I don't think these additions will help a flawed candidate.
Did you add any one to your vying vp yet? Peurto Rican guy, black lady, that India dude peeyuush zindaal the idiot so far?? Very pathetic party of NO. Obama12.
This will never happen – it's an attempt to draw attention away from the Bain story, which is killing Romney in the news cycle.
Too late now ,try3012,I know its your turn.,but we don't want you !!!
If you want the democrats to go rabid. Have Mr Romney have lunch on different day W/ Paul Ryan , Saraha Palin
Condi Rice and anyone else who will drive them off a cliff
"Did you add any one to your vying vp yet? Peurto Rican guy, black lady, that India dude peeyuush zindaal the idiot so far?? Very pathetic party of NO. Obama12."

Dude. Put down the keyboard. Get an education. Become a productive citizen.
There is a new "W" in town and his name is Willard

"U.S. Agency for International Development under the administration of President George W. Bush"
Aaaaah, the same agency that redefined "international development" as meaning "kill 100K innocent Iraqis under false pretenses and incarcerate scary foreigners indenfinitely without representation, formal charges or a trial"???
Willard is hiding out today because the truth about him is starting to surface. Some leader you got there republican party.
""Did you add any one to your vying vp yet? Peurto Rican guy, black lady, that India dude peeyuush zindaal the idiot so far?? Very pathetic party of NO. Obama12.""
No kidding...next thing you know, Peter Dinklage will show up on the list just so Mittens can say he's got the short people covered.
Sniffit

some bad koolaide today? it is friday the 13th.
What a mess, Change your pants all you want,get the size you think you need or the color or the length. All the changes and all the money in the world isn't going to help because the United States is NOT FRO SALE! The President we have right now is doing a great job leading this country to a better future and showing us we will have a secure future now and in the future.This country has needed someone like Pres.Obama for a very long time. It might not be moving as fast as allot of people would like it to but it's up to us to see that we never slip back into the horrific experience we all just went through.Patience & Perservance is what we need to hold on to.He's putting everything in place so it's safe and secure for this generation and thoese who come behind us.At the end of his second term everything should be on a path to a strong and growing successful economy.
I would question whether he actually hired them or whether he was told "These guys are now working for you,do what they tell you to do".
ASK Romney what he is going to do should he loose the election
1. go back to Bain and outsourse
2. become a mormon priest or missionary and try to convert the world
3. move to another country so he can pay less taxes or atleast hide his money there
4. go back to Mass and tell them how well their health care plan works and why America should do the same
5. blame everything on the GOP and start a new right wing party to replace the republicans
6. go back and get his grade 5
This goes to show that if Romney is elected president (god forbid), he will go there without any plan. The man had 6 years in preparation but it seems he didn't prepare himself for anything. No Tax Returns ready, no competent people to make the campaign function. It is all about the mess and nothing to admire!
In the 2008 election cycle, he was deputy communications director for John McCain's presidential campaign.
And McCain lose big time any 2008.
The key phrase is that he *added* to his staff. He stil has his friends on the staff.
The brylcreemed buffoon will be toast in November. It does not matter how many advisors he adds.
Willard "the rat" Romney can add what ever he wants, but he is still a rat.
