Far-Right Senate Candidate Phil Gingrey Loses His Entire Campaign Staff

Congressman Phil Gingrey (R-GA), who is running for Senate to replace the retiring Saxby Chambliss, is going to have to do some mass hiring today. It appears that his four top campaign staffers decided to resign on Monday. The resigning staff members were consultant Chip Lake, campaign manager John Porter, political director David Allen and political adviser Justin Tomczak.

In comments to The Daily Caller, Lake explained why he and the other staffers decided to leave the campaign:

We hit a crossroads in the campaign, and I just made a decision that it was best for both parties if we went in different directions. And I wish him nothing but the best moving forward, but you know, there was a fundamental disagreement on how to execute the campaign, and those differences over time just became too big of an obstacle for both parties, and at the end of the day I don’t know that he was very comfortable, and I don’t know that we were comfortable, and so we just thought it was best to move in different directions.”

One has to wonder if this relates to Gingrey’s first major TV campaign ad that started running a few days ago. The ad features Gingrey pledging that he will not run for reelection if he cannot get Obamacare repealed. Gingrey also has a campaign website, repealorgohome.com. Apparently, Gingrey’s campaign slogan is ‘Repeal or Go Home’ and is the major issue he will be running on.
