Party-switcher Griffith's staff quits



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

No one likes Parker Griffith these days. Democrats loathe the party-switcher. Lots of Republicans in Alabama have been dissing him. And, today, we learn his staff quit:

Rep. Parker Griffith's (Ala.) staff has resigned en masse after his recent decision to switch parties and become a Republican.

In a sternly worded statement, Griffith Chief of Staff Sharon Wheeler announced the exit of herself, along with legislative director Megan Swearingen, senior legislative assistant Brian Greer, legislative assistant Will Crain, press secretary Sean Magers, legislative correspondent Arinze Ifekauche, legislative correspondent Chase Chesser, staff assistant Mary Lou Hughston, congressional fellows Anjali Shah Kastorf and Leslee Oden and intern Andrew Menefee.

Griffith's political consulting team has already parted ways with him since he announced over the holiday break that he would switch parties.
There are probably lots of job-seeking Republicans ready to fill the now-vacant slots. But, long-term job prospects might not be so good. Griffiths could have a serious problem trying to win the GOP nomination in the June 1st primary.
