Battleground Blog » Herman Cain Loses Two Key Staffers
Too early in the race to make a difference? Remains to be seen, but it certainly doesn't make Cain look any better.
Perhaps its something about working for Georgians, but Newt Gingrich isnt the only GOP presidential candidate suffering from staff defections.
Pizza baron Herman Cains lone New Hampshire staffer has resigned from his campaign, reports the Union Leaders John DiStaso.
Matt Murphy, a veteran Republican organizer who worked as a field representative for Rudy Giulianis presidential campaign in 2008, stepped down as director of Cains New Hampshire campaign on Friday.
Murphy felt that Cain, a political novice, wasnt spending enough time in the state. He indicated that he was also disappointed by the campaigns denial of his request for additional staff members and office space in the Granite State, site of the first-in-the-nation primary.
Murphys departure closely follows the resignation of Jim Zeiler, the campaigns regional field director. Zeiler, a native of Wisconsin, resigned last week. Before joining Cains campaign, Zeiler had previously worked closely with Tea Party groups as a grassroots coordinator for Americans for Prosperity, the Washington, D.C.-based conservative advocacy organization founded in 2004.
