The other day we described Joe Pounder as a "one-man RNC." Apparently that was enough to prompt Politico to do a mini-profile of the Cantor spokesman, along with some very similar praise from the ubiquitous Kevin Madden:

"He's a machine," says Republican communications consultant Kevin Madden, who met Pounder on the Bush-Cheney '04 campaign. "He's a communications system all on his own."

Other top flaks profiled: DNC Press Secretary Hari Sevugan and Darrell Issa Press Secretary Kurt Bardella.
