GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney already has a team of education advisers that includes some prominent names. Now his campaign has assembled a new posse of "national education leaders" who will "lead an effort to coordinate support for Mitt Romney and his bold education reforms that will put students first," in press-release speak.
We'll have to see what that actually translates to in terms of the real campaign, but everyone on the list is from a swing state—Virginia is especially well represented.
And the list includes a lot of state education board members. There are also a bunch of state lawmakers who have worked as classroom teachers or administrators.
