Susie Wiles, who managed Jon Huntsman's campaign in the early going, is joining Mitt Romney's team.

Wiles will serve as co-chair of Romney's Florida advisory council, the campaign said. "As this campaign has progressed, I have had an opportunity to observe each of the candidates and it is clear to me that one candidate stands out from the rest: Mitt Romney," Wiles said in a statement, touting his business background.

Wiles resigned from Huntsman's campaign this summer. She managed Rick Scott's successful bid for governor in 2010.
