Why did Perdue have such a young Campaign Manager?

Very interesting article to reflect upon.

The former Republican Congressman from Ohio, Bob Ney, sold the voters out for lavish gifts and campaign contributions. Will Heaton, the youngest chief of staff ever on Capital Hil, was hired by Ney. Why?

"Heaton worked for Ney from September 2001 to July 2006, becoming in 2002 the youngest chief of staff on Capitol Hill. Heaton's lawyers said in court documents that Ney preferred to hire inexperienced staffers because they had not received extensive ethics training and lacked the maturity to question him."

WOW! Now how do I link that to Perdue? Nick Ayers!

Remember Nick Ayers being arrested for DUI during the re-election cycle of 2006? Not that anyone blames Nick for drinking while working under Sonny Perdue. I don't. Just for drinking, driving, and trying to avoid being stopped.

At the age of 24, AFTER the election, Perdue appointed Nickie to head the Republican Governors Association. The youngest executive director ever for the RGA.

The RGA raised $27 million in 2006.

Perdue might like the young Nick. He might also like pushing him around. And, with little or no experience, the other Republican governors might see Nickie as a potential Will Heaton.

I can only hope Nickie has the guts someday to say no to land deals like Oakey Woods ... tax deals that cut the Governor a back tax refund of over $100,000 ... illegal and unethical use of the $700,000 in left over campaign funds.

I doubt it.

I don't expect Nick Ayers to ever wear a 'wire,' cooperate with criminal investigations of his benefactors, or confess his own sins.

Meanwhile, I offer Will Heaton heartfelt concern for his personal future. A young man who has grown in courage enough to say No to corruption and pay such a huge price as Will has, is not done. He's really just begining to do good things.

Good luck, Will.
