DNC member paid by Greene before endorsing him

[ccharles000]

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — When a Democratic National Committee member sent an e-mail asking whom he should support in the Democratic Senate primary, at least one result came quickly.

The DNC member, Jon Ausman of Tallahassee, received a check the next day from the campaign of billionaire candidate Jeff Greene, hiring Ausman for political consultation and strategy.

Six days after that, Ausman announced his endorsement in another e-mail: He was endorsing Greene.

He signed the endorsement e-mail as a DNC member but didn't mention that he was being paid by Greene. He says he provided 35,000 e-mail addresses in exchange for the money.

1. They sell themselves to just about anyone

even to a scum like Jeff Greene.

2. That 'scum' may very well be the Democratic nominee

Don't get me wrong, I am still supporting Kendrick Meek, but I am preparing for the very real possibility that Greene may win.

3. If Greene wins, look for Charlie Crist to get a healthy bump

in the polls.

4. Greene has a lot of money, and will likely start spending it reminding voters of

all of the conservative positions Charlie Crist held just a few months ago.

9. Still better than a scum-sucker like Greene. nt

6. I'll Vote for Meek, But I'm Betting That Crist Will Walk Away With The Win!

EVERY DAY I get a flier from Greene... he DOES HAVE THE MONEY! Again Florida is being FLEECED!

My husband is a native and I'm sure I live here until my death, but it sure sucks politically... MOST OF THE TIME!

I hear almost NOTHING from Meek! Have yet to get one flyer of see any coverage. But then, given where I live... it's so RED I doubt he would dip his toes into this county!

But Greene and his money is smothering this place!!

BTW, many of my Democratic friends are leaning toward Crist, so don't be surprised if he does win! Meek isn't fighting very hard, and few even know him!

5. If Greene wins the nomination, it's a no brainer. I'm voting for Crist no matter what.

Something about him stinks to high, high heavens. Including, but not limited to, the fact he ran as a GOP candidate for congress in California.

7. Glad I read the op.

At first I thought you were talking about Alvin Greene(D,SC), and I was wondering where he'd gotten the money!:evilgrin:

8. Rumor has it.

Ausman got the toss in Tallahassee. Not returning phone calls.
