Now, let’s look at one of the Washington, D.C. firms that Padgett hired. In their own material they credit “contributed to major Democratic victories in several ‘third tier’ races.” They “directed national research and message development for the Gore-Lieberman campaign” They have worked with “DGA, DCCC, DSCC” They brag that in 2008 they “helped Democrats turn New Mexico from a delegation with a majority of Republicans to a delegation with a majority of Democrats” They credit themselves “successful ballot initiative campaigns, including the January 2010 passage of tax increases on the wealthy and corporations in Oregon” They have worked with the “Sierra Club, union leaders, National Education Association (as well as affiliates in 19 states)” For ten years one of their associates “served as the Executive Director of Democracy Corps, a non profit organization founded by Democrat strategists James Carville, Bob Shrum” The same associate “worked on the field campaign of Carol Moseley Braun” and “directed the Clinton/Gore campaign for the north side of Chicago.” Another associate worked “union mobilization for President Obama in the 2008 election.” Worked with “Michigan Democratic Party” as well as the “New Jersey Democrat Party”.

So, when the RINO’s (Republican In Name Only) say they are supporting Padgett because it is non partisan race. Obviously Mark hasn’t been non partisan.
