Staff quits Viers congressional campaign?
Seventh Congressional District Thad Viers' congressional campaign seems to be suffering yet another setback after a weak initial fundraising effort.
The Blogland has learned from several sources that Viers has lost his two campaign staffers, including Jill Kelso, who was hired to be his campaign manager. Kelso, who had listed Viers as her employer on her Facebook profile, recently removed employment information from that profile. The Blogland has attempted to contact Kelso to confirm these reports, but has received no response (but not responding or wanting to go on the record is the norm for the Viers camp).
This might help explain why the almost-daily email flow from the Viers campaign dried up last week.
As personnel matters are generally kept confidential, the Blogland did not attempt to verify the rumored reasons for the campaign staff shake-up (we've heard several), but in any event, it seems pretty clear that the candidacy of Viers, a self-proclaimed front-runner, is strugging.

In recent weeks, Viers has been joined by several others in seeking the GOP nomination, including former Lt. Governor Andre Bauer, Florence attorney and mega-church activist Joe Jordan, Horry County Council Chair Tom Rice and Myrtle Beach City Councilman Randall Wallace.
