GOP strategist: ‘If Sarah Palin endorsed me I would be too embarrassed to tell anyone’
GOP strategist: ‘If Sarah Palin endorsed me I would be too embarrassed to tell anyone’
The awkward part of this? Rexroad is a managing partner of Meridian Pacific, Inc., a strategy firm hired by… Carly Fiorina. While Rexroad doesn’t work on that account, the Fiorina campaign paid Meridian Pacific $31,509.88 for consulting and travel in the first quarter of 2010. Reached by phone, Rexroad stood by the post and stuck up for his colleagues working for Fiorina.
“I hope it’s not a big deal!” he laughed. “I support Carly and I’ll be voting for her, and I think she’s going to win. But from my point of view, I don’t know how you quit as the governor of your state and get taken seriously. I have a client this cycle who tells me I should keep this to myself, but it’s my opinion. Look at Ross Perot — he was rock star for a while, and then after a while people said, hey, he’s kind of crazy.”
