The Iowa chairman for Republican presidential candidate and former Texas Gov. Rick told the Associated Press on Monday that he’s left his job, days after reports surfaced that the GOP hopeful had stopped paying some campaign staffers.

Reports earlier this month stated that Perry would stop paying staffers in Iowa, Texas, New Hampshire, and South Carolina amid financial woes.

Perry’s Iowa campaign chair, Sam Clovis, said he was stepping down because of the transitioning campaign and uncertainty of pay, according to the Associated Press.

    Or is that the South end of a North bound jackass?
    Or maybe it’s the other way around in reverse…

    At least whoever this guy in Iowa used to be, he had the sense to get the duck out of Fodge before Perry went completely Bachmann on him. The rest of Perry’s “help” in other States ought to get a rush of brains to the head, and do the same thing.
