Harris' new campaign manager
U.S. Senate candidate Katherine Harris announced Thursday that she hired Bryan Rudnick to be her new campaign manager. He is her fourth one but who's really counting?
Rudnick, a resident of Boca Raton, is president of Alliance Strategies Group, a strategic planning and communications firm.
"I am delighted to have Bryan on our team," Harris said. "He brings a host of skills and innovative ideas that will help me demonstrate to Floridians how my leadership will benefit them while serving in the United States Senate."

A person from RPOF said he was just up in Massachussetts running a gay marriage ban amendment. Ms. Harris will crush him like a grape.

Are we taking bets on how long he lasts?

They all last 3 months. It's a cycle.
She should really consider using a professional staffing company for her campaign, I hear those are 90 day contracts!

I give til the end of August. She's got less time to weed out the staff, so she'll be quickening the pruning now.
Poor guy, why anyone would want to commit suicide like that?

If the over/under is mid-August. I will put money on the under. Does she currently hold the record for most campaign managers in one camapaign cycle?

I keep hearing that Harris has a photo of McBride leading the pro-immigration rally in Tampa back in May. Supposedly he's carrying a Mexican flag and is reported to jump a mock US border fence. I heard one of the spanish papers has the pic and maybe Univision has the video. That sure would be a death nail in his coffin if true. Kinda hard to defend being a trial lawywer AND a fence jumper!

I take the under!
My gal-pal that worked for Ms. Harris spoke to someone still on her staff yesterday and they said that Ms. Harris has already screamed and ranted at the new campaign manager. From what she heard, he is in absolute shock at how mean, vile and venomous she was to him and to other staff.
He will not last through August.
Mr. Adam Smith, you or one of the other reporters need to do a story on which past Harris staffers actually support and endorse her Senate candidacy, publicly.
