Dayspring is an establishment putz, but his job in the NRSC was to back Cochran. The other side was represented by Charles C. Johnson who is an even looser cannon than Daywpring. Chuck Johnson is right a lot but like Dayspring he is in it for himself. None of those shumcks has any core principles.

I keep claiming that Walker is exceptionally astute when it comes to the political side of things, so here are two conclusions if you assume this was a smart political move (instead of simply using it as an excuse to dump on him):
1) Dayspring got Cochran elected. Clearly he was effective. Hiring him keeps him from being hired by an opponent. That said, I’ll be very surprised if Walker turns him loose on his GOP opponents to dig up dirt or, especially, to fabricate allegations about them.
2. However, assuming Hillary is the nominee, imagine the material Dayspring will have to work with. Seriously, if you’re looking for dirt to spread on a candidate, what better place to look than Hillary Clinton? You don’t even have to lie about any of it. Just make sure it gets past the MSM and into voters’ hands and minds.
And while I strongly suspect that Walker will observe Reagan’s 11th commandment, I also believe that he will have no reservations about going after the Democrat nominee. If that’s the case, this could be an excellent hire, rather than a bad one. Hire someone who will do the job with a vengeance. We may be “known by the company we keep,” but we’re not necessarily known by those we hire to get a job done.
