A Second McCain Aide Resigns

11 May 2008 01:37 pm

Doug Davenport, the regional campaign manager for the mid-Atlantic states, founded the DCI Group's lobbying practice and oversaw the contract with Myanmar in 2002.

"Doug has tendered his resignation and we have accepted it," Jill Hazelbaker, McCain's communications director, wrote in a e-mail.

He joins former DCI Group CEO Doug Goodyear, who resigned yesterday from the post of convention CEO after Newsweek reported that DCI was paid more than $300,000 to represent Myanmar's ruling junta.

Goodyear and Davenport were recruited by McCain's campaign manager, Rick Davis, who has been accused by some current and former McCain advisers of take insufficient care of McCain's reformer brand by appointing lobbyists to key positions. Ironically, as Newsweek reported, Goodyear was asked to become convention CEO after Davis's lobbying firm partner, Paul Manafort, was nixed because of his own close ties to foreign governments and controversial companies.

:rofl:

If my name was Doug and I was still an aide, I'd go ahead and draft a letter. :)

Hiya sis! :hug: :loveya:

them?

Just like they claim with Hagee.

They never seem to look into the people they hand responsibility to or accept endorsements from.

Either that or they knew who they were involved with, and they're lying again.

Hmmmm :)
