Jason Rae’s employer, Thad Nation, has indirectly funded organizations that have run smear campaigns

against Democrats and supported Republican candidates and causes.


There is more at the link. But I got to thinking about how our politically savvy make a living, and I don't know how hard it is to make a living doing this type of work. So, what I'm trying to figure out, if this is a conflict of interest?

1. Figures. Rae looks much more like a neo-con infiltrator than a real Democrat.

3. Over the years there has been a phrase that goes- follow the money.

2. Looks bad.

I have worked with Jason Rae occasionally within the party. I have no doubt about his bona fides as a Dem.

I also have no doubt that he is young, prone to unquestioning loyalty when he shouldn't be, and inexperienced enough in politics to have no idea how bad this looks and no idea how to deal with it without a bunch of consultants telling him how.

That alone disqualifies him for chair if the DPW. IMHO.

4. I didn't think this looked good.

5. I'm not sure where I said you did.

Perhaps you could point that out for me.

Excuse me for thinking you posted this here to have a conversation about it.

6. I'm sorry sybylla. I've clumsily responded to your post. I'm grateful

for your input. I was referring to my own confusion over this consulting business, because it just didn't look good to me.
