Problems in the Thompson campaign?

Here's a blog post today from Chris Cillizza:

More Staff Trouble in Thompson Campaign

Linda Rozett, the communications director for former Sen. Fred Thompson's (R-Tenn.) presidential bid, has left the campaign, according to an internal e-mail obtained by The Fix.

"It is my duty to let you know that Linda Rozett is no longer with our committee," wrote campaign manager Bill Lacy.

"I will have to make a lot of tough decisions to make our venture successful, and this was one of them. Linda is a talented, professional and gracious lady who will be missed."

He added: "But in the limited amount of time we have I feel it critical to have a communications point person with significant campaign experience." Rozett's departure follows that of press secretary Burson Snyder last week.

Top Thompson adviser Tom Collamore resigned last month from the campaign. A comment on Cizzilla's blog reads: "I nominate Fred for the 'Mario Cuomo Handwringing Decision' award. He missed his campaign announcement ship, and now we're watching the pier collapse."
