    “Daniels and Cross” - specializing in all state legislative issues & elections. Specifically, how to remain in the minority. And Republican coalition building - “the relationships that D & C has forged over the past 30 years will help get your bill passed!” How to win over friends and influence enemies - that type of thing.

  91. =Dan Rutherford’s Communications Director =

    aka the ILGOP Social Media Guru who is responsible for determining, and sending out the memo as to, who should be unfriended by ILGOP pols on Facebook and who makes the cut.

    (BTW, if you’re all going to continue “unfriending” GOPERs who have “fallen out of favor” for you “issue du jour” at least have the courtesy to develop a policy that also includes taking them off of your mailing lists for communications that grovel for money and include invites to fundraisers.

    It’s quite “defining” and unbecoming.
