He has lots of experience, connections, and credibility.

Here is an excerpt from his wiki:

Wead was an active behind-the-scenes player in the 2000 United States presidential election, receiving some credit for George W. Bush's victory in the Iowa straw polls of 1999.[9] From 1984 to 2000, he served as an on-and-off adviser to both presidents George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush.

Time magazine called Wead an insider in the Bush family orbit and "the man who coined the phrase 'Compassionate Conservative.'"[10] George W. Bush first picked up the term “Compassionate Conservative” in 1987 from Wead.[11] In 1979, Wead gave a speech titled “The Compassionate Conservative” at the annual Charity Awards Dinner, and tapes of the speech were later sold across the country at corporate seminars.[12]

In March 2008, Wead helped create the website Religious Freedom In America,[13] focusing on government threats to religious observance

Not really. I asked the source to post the news to RPF themselves, but they insisted I do it. It was an odd request, but I guarantee they are who they say they are and it is someone everyone knows and trusts.

yeah, also IIRC he was instrumental in Dr. Paul receiving that big charity award somewhat recently.
