Former McCain aide on Graham campaign


A former consultant to U.S. Sen. John McCain is working for Bill Graham.

According to the Hotline blog of the National Journal, the Arizona senator's former chief creative consultant, Fred Davis, is working on Graham's bid for the Republican gubernatorial nomination.

In addition, he is working on U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole's re-election bid, as well as Senate races in Tennessee and Oklahoma in 2008. He worked for the Bush campaign in 2004.

Davis' Hollywood-based media firm, Strategic Perception, made television ads for Graham's N.C. Conservatives United advocacy group last year in its campaign to cap the gas tax.

His firm has also signed up to help with U2 frontman Bono's anti-poverty ONE campaign.
