Politico says Ward’s fired his campaign manager

Politico.com is reporting that Idaho congressional candidate Vaughn Ward has fired his campaign manager and is bringing on a new interim manager plus a "press secretary with experience working in the office of former Idaho Sen. Larry Craig." You can read Politico's article here; it cites unnamed sources. So, is it true? My calls both to Ward and to Ryan O'Barto, who's been his campaign spokesman at least until yesterday, so far today have gone unreturned. The Politico article identifies O'Barto as the fired campaign manager, and says he's a former aide to Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter.
