The Iowa chairman for Rick Perry's faltering Republican presidential bid steps down

(and slinks off in embarrassment for ever even thinking of a Perry campaign.)

Sam Clovis said Monday that he had stepped down as Perry's state chairman. The former Texas governor has stopped paying his staff. Clovis said he left because the campaign was in transition and because future compensation was uncertain.
But he added that it was about more than the money.

But if Rick was still paying him, I'm sure Mr. Clovis would find a way to reconcile his differences with the candidate. Just say it's about the money, Sam. There's no shame in saying that you're working for the paycheck. Lots of people do it all across the country. Or is it because it's not fashionable in your circles to admit that you need a regular paycheck?
