I agree... and here is the big problem that I have now... Ken Hutcheson is making claims that he is now part of the Allen campaign in some capacity until his "spot" is secured there.
I would very much like Allen to see that email... which by the way was not sent by Phil Rodokanakis to me. I received it from about half a dozen other people who got it from various sources.
If Allen takes Hutcheson as a manager on his campaign, I fear he's lost before the fight has even begun. I'll be calling Sen. Allen soon on this.

I ~think~ Hutcheson is referring to Allen's 2000 Senate campaign. IIRC he was a part of the campaign staff.
Regardless of who released the email, I think both of these guys need to sit down in a room and slug out their differences. From what I understand (from someone who knows) this is not new to this campaign, but has been building for several years.
But, it's why we're losing elections.
Hutch was on Allen 2000, but not campaign manager. Chris LaCivita was the manager that year. Jason Miller is Allen's '06 campaign manager. Allen also has Dick Wadhams on his Senate staff now in preparation for '06 and beyond. (Wadhams is the guy who managed Thune's race against Daschle.)
