Rand Paul Campaign Staffer Resigns
KENTUCKY....
A second Rand Paul campaign staffer, Christi Gillespie says she felt it was “morally necessary” to resign because Paul has prohibited campaign staffers and his supporters from attacking the Republican Party or GOP Sen. Mitch McConnell. Gillispie also switched her party affiliation from Republican to Libertarian. Another campaign staffer, Christopher Hightower, had resigned in mid-December after a Kentucky political blog showed racist images that purportedly were posted on Hightower's MySpace page. Hightower denied any connection to the racist images but says he resigned because he feared the controversy might negatively affect Paul.
