I make no secret about it, I am a big fan of Anne Hathaway. For those who may not know Anne, she is a rock star to us political junkies. Yesterday, the Politico ran a story about the “Top 50″ movers and shakers in politics and Anne was listed as one of the top staffers to watch.
Anne has worked at the Republican National Committee for a number of years. She started out as a regional political director in 2001 and eventually served as chief of staff at the committee in the 2008 cycle. Prior to the RNC, she worked in the White House with former Vice President Dan Quayle, as well as for his political action committee.
Anne has come back to the Hoosier state to operate her own public affairs firm and most recently served as a top adviser to former Sen. Dan Coats (R-Ind.) during his competitive primary victory earlier this year. Anne is a super star, and it’s great to see her receive the recognition that she deserves and earned.

As a former Knox County Republican Party Chairman and long time party activist, T.J. understands the political dynamics of the 8th district. Assisting in several local, state and national campaigns, T.J. gained insight and knowledge that is invaluable to the task ensuring conservatives are elected to political office. After a friend asked him to take over Bloody8th.com, he jumped into the world of political blogging. He hopes to put his expertise and knowledge of 8th District politics to good use in this crucial election year.
