Marc Dann Hires Texas Oppo Pro Jason Stanford


From Openers:

ann has hired a noted Texas Democratic opposition research firm whose motto is: “We Serve Republicans. Would You Like Them Skewered, Roasted, or Deep Fried?”

Jason Stanford is president of Stanford Campaigns and Stanford Research in Austin, Texas. He said he has been hired by Dann to do the attorney general’s talking when it comes political matters not related to his state job.

Dann, a Democrat, has even revived his 2006 campaign slogan, Dann for Ohio, and will pay Stanford from leftover campaign funds, Stanford said.

Stanford lives in Texas but that he and Dann have mutual friends whom he would not disclose who hooked them up with one another.

“We have friends in common,” Stanford said. “Private friends. People he trusts, trust me.”

Interesting. Very interesting. Dann for Ohio? LOL. Is he kidding?

Plunderchat:

That’s was the name of Dann’s campaign committee, not his slogan. Confused reporter me thinks.

Dann had about 495k on hand at the beginning of the year. But I’m thinking it will probably be difficult to keep raising funds. Time to hit up the special counsels!

I think Dann’s hiring of an opposition research firm signals that he is digging his heels in deep and possibly is going to be going on the offensive. Dann is a loose cannon and might try to take a few people out with him.
