Christina Jeffrey may be one of the most entertaining candidates to seek public office this year. From her well-publicized tenure as House historian for four days until comments about the Nazi regime and the holocaust were exposed, to her recent declaration that South Carolinians are "in-breds," to questions about all the various candidates she claims to have supported for President in 2008, Jeffrey gives new meaning to the term loose cannon.
What is not well known is that she may be the single best recruiter for the Jim Lee campaign.
In less than one year she has had six campaign managers, including your scribe (#3). At least four of us now solidly support Jim Lee, the conservative seeking the Republican nomination in the 4th Congressional District.
As with her presidential support in 2008, Jeffrey has conflicting explanations as to why campaign manager #4 left. She tells some supporters that he needed to tend to spring chores on his farm in Honea Path. Others are told the unpaid volunteer was fired for insubordination.
Campaign manager #4 has an autistic son who needs full-time supervision. Jeffrey wanted her campaign manager to place yard signs on a busy highway, but campaign manager #4 declined because he had no one to watch his son. She insisted he take the boy along. But campaign manager #4 thought that would be unsafe; hence, the insubordination charge.
We didn't have time to learn the identity of campaign manager #5; apparently he was dispatched within 48 hours. Now we learn that Jeffrey is taking campaign advice from Dean Allen. The candidate for Adjutant General has advised her to go hard negative. Given Jeffrey's troubled history with volunteers, we wonder if South Carolina's loosest cannon really wants to involve in her campaign a gentleman who knows how to use an AK-47.
