Yet another Katherine Harris spokesperson has torn his hair out and high-tailed it.
Rep. Katherine Harris’ communications director for her Senate campaign is resigning, the latest in staff turnover that has plagued the Republican’s effort to unseat Democratic incumbent Bill Nelson.
“I wish Katherine Harris the best, and it’s been a pleasure working for her,” campaign spokesman Chris Ingram said Wednesday. “It’s been an experience.”
“It’s been an experience.” I like that. Sounds kind of like, “Have a day,” or “It’s been real.” Go Chris.
You might recognize poor Chris as the one who’s had to defend Harris when she claimed Democratic House members from Florida were winking and nodding at her that wanted her to beat U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson this fall. Chris said it was all true, even though Harris could produce no specifics. He also backed her up when she tossed out a bogus line about Nelson accepting bribe money in response to a question about her own transgressions.
Meanwhile another Harris alum, Jim Dornan, keeps saying she’s nutso. The question is, how many more will make the inevitable dash for the parking lot with Chris?
Ingram, part of a new team put together after Harris’ core campaign staff quit this spring, didn’t talk further about the decision�
The same release added, “Contrary to earlier reports, Harris has only accepted the resignation of Chris Ingram,” an apparent attempt to downplay reports that other key staff members, including campaign manager Glenn Hodas and field director Pat Thomas, will also resign.
Hodas and Thomas didn’t immediately return calls.
Harris has had three campaign managers since getting into the race last summer, and has seen turnover in every key position.
