In the end I, and everyone else in the inner circle of the campaign, decided that if Severson were involved we would not be. Common sense on behalf of the candidate prevailed and Severson was out and never mentioned again. We went on to win in a very positive campaign of ideas.<BR/><BR/>Now, with all of that said I am getting to my point: Towards the end of the meeting Severson went in to a full-blown Vietnam flashback. He was there again and they were coming through the jungle. The look in his eyes and the way he was speaking scared the crap out of me. He was reliving the jungle war right in front of us play-by-play. I couldn't wait to get out of the meeting.<BR/><BR/>BTW, he also told the candidate that if I was involved in the campaign, he wouldn't be...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-45659127747846891282007-12-05T17:32:00.000-05:002007-12-05T17:32:00.000-05:00Why aren't the local papers doing this kind of rep...Why aren't the local papers doing this kind of reporting?Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17139593862056588501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-5712128939968634482007-12-05T13:34:00.000-05:002007-12-05T13:34:00.000-05:00I have Dertinger trashing flyers at home that if I...<EM> I have Dertinger trashing flyers at home that if I'm not mistaken were done by Precision Marketing. </EM><BR/><BR/>Chris, You are mistaken.

I'm more than willing to wait for Charlie Dent to disavow that. I have Dertinger trashing flyers at home that if I'm not mistaken were done by Precision Marketing. The findings in your later post state that Severson works for Republicans on the whole, but is greedy, and tried to hide that he worked for Democrats. blogger won't let me sign in- Chris CaseyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-87834583234915535042007-12-05T11:45:00.000-05:002007-12-05T11:45:00.000-05:00Dent uses Precision Marketing, as does every repub...<EM>Dent uses Precision Marketing, as does every republican local state rep.</EM><BR/><BR/>Chris, This statement is inaccurate. So far as I know, Dent has never used Severeson. Moreover, in the last state senate race, one of the candidates that Severson worked for was Democrat Lisa Boscola. <BR/><BR/>Severson does a lot of work for the republican state committee, and I think that is the source of much of his income. But the truth is he actually works for the Almighty Dollar, and as LVHW correctly notes, it is the Rs who are raising hell about him.Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-77707792676242372652007-12-05T11:03:00.000-05:002007-12-05T11:03:00.000-05:00LV Housewife, I meant no offense to Republicans as...LV Housewife, I meant no offense to Republicans as a whole, but look at the campaign finance reports.
