Meet the new McCain campaign regional director

While working for Rudy Giuliani's campaign in New Hampshire, Jennifer Hallowell had a view of John McCain's comeback from the outside.

"I had a front row seat to history in a lot of ways," Hallowell said of her days in New Hampshire during a new interview with WisPolitics.

Now, she's hoping to catch a McCain win from the inside.

Hallowell, who has spent much of the past 13 years working in Republican politics in Indiana, was recently picked to be McCain's regional campaign director for Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana, overseeing the efforts in those states.

A Dem hasn't won Indiana in the presidential race since 1964, so the majority of Hallowell's attention for the next six months will be focused on Wisconsin and Michigan -- places where McCain can appeal to independents and the old Reagan Democrats.
