A familiar face from CNN has a new gig with the RNC:

Alex Castellanos, a Republican media consultant, will take over as a senior communications adviser to RNC Chairman Michael Steele, according to a source familiar with the move. The announcement of Castellanos’ role comes hours after communications director Trevor Francis announced he was leaving the committee. But, Castellanos is taking on the strategic role on a permanent — not interim — basis, according to the source.

This follows the news that Trevor Francis is vacating the post, a kind of odd departure mid-cycle. I just hope CNN informs their viewers of Alex’s position every time they have him on.
