Longtime Steele Consultants Cut Ties With RNC

By Shira Toeplitz / CQ Politics


Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele's top political advisors announced Monday evening that they are parting ways with the embattled committee following Chief of Staff Ken McKay's dismissal.

Curt Anderson of OnMessage Inc. confirmed in a statement that his firm is ending their relationship with the committee and the chairman, who they advised during his failed 2006 Senate bid in Maryland as well as his campaign to win the RNC chairmanship.

"Ken McKay's departure is a huge loss for the Republican Party. Ken steered the party through very sucessful elections last fall that have given us tremendous momentum. He's a great talent," Anderson said in a statement. "Given our firm's commitments to campaigns all over the country we have concluded it is best for us to step away from our advisory role at the RNC. We have high personal regard for the Chairman and always have; we wish him well."

RNC spokesman Doug Heye confirmed that another one of Steele's top advisors, Blaise Hazelwood, was still working with the committee.

OnMessage also advised the campaigns of Rhode Island Gov. Don Carcieri (R), for whom McKay served as a top aide. Anderson also served as political director at the RNC when now-Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour was chairman. One of OnMessage's other partners, Brad Todd, is a frequently used consultant for GOP House candidates and a top adviser to National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Pete Sessions (Texas).

1. The RNC & DNC Are Endangered...Thanks To The SCOTUS

With all limits off, the various party campaign committees have lost their big leverage of being able to raise unlimited sums and distribute them to candidates. The rushpublicans have already formed a "shadow RNC" with Rove and the usual suspects bypassing Steele and looking to shovel over $50 million or more in the upcoming elections. Those who are the fundraisers will move to the 527s where bookkeeping is far less tranparent.

Was it an accident that bow tie boy 'Richie Rich' (Fucker Carlson)first exposed the bondage lesbian club?
