Squish Alert

I bet the NRSC can't wait to get this Susan Collins clone on track in New Hampshire. While her consultant did spend some time with Fred, I think Collins was his bigger deal. And he was once a Peace Corp dude! Need I say more? ha!

GEARING UP. As likely future Republican U.S. Senate candidate Kelly Ayotte prepares for her final day in the Attorney General’s office tomorrow (there was a big going away party for her at the office today), we’ve learned there have been discussions between some of her closest supporters and potential professional political consultants.

The Status reported this morning that political consultants who have worked for moderate Republican Maine Sen. Susan Collins are in the mix.

Today, we’ve learned those named include Thomas Daffron, chief operating officer of the Washington-based Jefferson Consulting Group. He is the former chief of staff for Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Fred Thompson of Tennessee and William Cohen of Maine and a former consultant for Collins.

Once Ayotte is out of office, expect separate interviews of potential campaign managers to begin immediately (as in this coming weekend).

a peace corp dude? damn.... can't have someone that volunteered for his country and tried to selflessly help others be part of the Republican party now can we? That would violate everything the right stands for. Come on, there has to be some self-serving, greedy, adulterer that you can find to uphold your party traditions.

Well, it's New Hampshire; part of Serfdom.

While we certainly don't lack for that sort, at least we tend to clean our house once that sort of thing emerges.

But y'all Dems on the other hand, seem to go out of your way to appoint and keep tax cheats in charge of the Treasury, a murderer and a former KKK Kleagle in the Senate, and a homosexual whoremonger in the House.

To list just a few.
