ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jVIiyHRO5nzbIr22lYwrz4tJEGGgD92L0RLG0I was this guy's campaign manager since I came back from Colorado up until tomorrow, when my resignation letter will be mailed out. You just can't say shit like that!!! I don't know how me and my company winds up working with these types of candidates... Charles is one of the most intelligent, brilliant, smartest and hard-working men I've ever met in my near-24 years on this earth... but he's just not politically savvy. I'm trying to make a name for myself, and it has been far from easy! In my 4 years working campaigns, I have NEVER given up on a candidate once... even though I should have... well, my streak of sticking with candidates regardless has come to an end. It frustrates me to no end. Thanks for listening/reading...

Jim, Politics is a very ugly business, no question. If you stay in politics and manage to keep yourself above the slime, you will be very unique. It bothered me that Rovian tactics succeeded in allowing our current president defeat first McCain in the primary and then win 2 (actually one) elections. And as an Obama supporter it bothers me these same tactics seem to be now working for McCain. But, that's how it is.
PS - Just so you know....I have nothing against the historical principles of the Republican Party. I do, however, have a problem with the segment of that party which is currently running (and ruining) our country.

smurph, it's cool, dude... ever since I came up here to WVU, I've learned to accept other people's viewpoints (I can still disagree, but, nevertheless...)
I think events in each person's life forms their own unique views on things. And, for the record, I would like to see my party return to their "historic principles" like you just mentioned!

Listen I a good Republican but I have known Natalie Tennant for a long time. Even before she was the Mountaineer Mascot. She shoots straight and is a very nice lady. Listen I don't get into debates on message boards when it comes to politics. I take it very seriously and can get a little heated. So that is why I don't comment on the topics. The only reason I did on this one was from what I hear most Republican are going to vote for her anyway!! This is not from her but some big boys from charleston. Why waste the money on a campaign you can't win and use it for some race you can!!!

RL, those are some of my sentiments on Charles' campaign... he's wasting his time and other people's money (when he does get it.)
