Rick Perry shook up his struggling presidential campaign Monday, hiring four veteran Republican political operatives in hopes of regaining momentum in the race for his party's 2012 nomination.
Perry announced Monday he's hired Joe Allbaugh, who ran George W. Bush's 2000 campaign and later served as the director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, as a senior adviser to his 2012 effort.
Dave Carney, a longtime Perry adviser who has been managing the campaign, will continue to work for the Perry campaign but will reportedly share his duties with Allbaugh.
