Schaffer Staffer Mum on Ties to Marianas GovYesterday we detailed Republican Senate candidate Bob Schaffer’s ties to the Northern Mariana Islands, Jack Abramoff’s prize client, and particularly the islands’ governor, Benigno Fitial.
The Denver Post followed up and put the question to Schaffer as to why he’d been so loyal to a little island territory thousands of miles away. The answer? Quit asking. From the Post:
Schaffer campaign manager Dick Wadhams declined Thursday to discuss his candidate’s role in island politics. “The Denver Post continues its character assassination of Bob Schaffer,” he said.
