Union-Leader’s DiStaso: McCain NH press office emphatically and repeatedly declines to comment on WSJ story about potential press-team departure

The Manchester Union-Leader said on Friday that New Hampshire press secretary Jill Hazelbaker emphatically and repeatedly declined to comment on a Wall Street Journal article (also cited by Time’s Ana Marie Cox), that the entire McCain media and press team would be departing from the campaign. 

The text of the article:

Manchester – John McCain’s New Hampshire press secretary is refusing to comment on a Wall Street Journal report today that the campaign’s press-communications team will resign tomorrow.

The Journal, in a story today on resigned McCain strategist John Weaver, reported: “Tomorrow, the press-communications team is planning to resign, people familiar with the matter say.”

Jill Hazelbaker moments ago told UnionLeader.com: “I have no idea who the people familiar with the matter are.”

Hazelbaker repeated that statement when asked directly three times if she will resign tomorrow, or if she had any plans to resign at any time.

McCain plans a lunch-time address in Concord and a town hall-style meeting tomorrow in Claremont.
