Ellery Gould: Campaign (Mis)Manager

Fresh on the heels of finishing second place in the Democratic Primary for U.S. Senate, Jim Martin's campaign manager Ellery Gould hailed the "unanimous support of the opponents [he] faces Tuesday."

But wait a second. First the obvious: Vernon Jones, who beat him on Tuesday has certainly not endorsed his opponent in the runoff election.

And now the other fact: Josh Lanier has refused to endorse Jim Martin.

Ellery Gould didn't just jump the gun, he completely misfired.

It's already been a campaign full of mistakes and disappointments for Gould who first missed an FEC deadline, then touted the endorsement of a candidate who personally loathes Jim Martin, and now announces an endorsement that doesn't even exist!

Before leading the hopeless Martin effort, Gould's most important experience was serving as an underling at the ultra-liberal Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

But his "experience" hasn't exactly helped the Martin campaign make due on its early boasting of being able to bring in $2.5 million for the primary fight and another $5 million for its general election war chest. And don't expect to see it anytime soon. Lets hope Gould figures out he's just not cut out for the campaign trail and retires back to where he came from.
