My prediction is that the important staffers will quit the campaign, and go to work for the super PAC. The move will be lauded by GOP establishment folks as creative and brilliant, the FEC will briefly clutch its collective pearls, and the way will be paved for Bush to open the floodgates of communications between his super PACs and his campaign.

Like all conservative-types, he’s waiting for the inevitable government bailout. Later on, of course, he will rail against government spending.

It’s interesting how paying their campaign workers is always at the bottom of their priority list when spending their campaign money. It matches their political philosophy of screwing everyone but the 1%.

I think that Mitt Romney didn’t even pay for his staff a plane ticket home the night he lost to President Obama. That is the republican way.

True, but it was a car service, not even a plane! The stingy bastard! I still revel in his humiliation, if that’s ok to admit. Good times.

Careful. Dude’s gonna knock over a liquor store.

Perry described his struggling operation as “a real grassroots campaign.”

Which by grassroots he meant, "For now they’ll just have to eat dirt ".
