The Mole in Ron Paul's Campaign

It has been long suspected on the blogs I frequent that there was some sabotage occurring during the Republican primary campaign. I think we found him:

"GOP leader Mitch McConnell hires Tea Party strategist" by Roger Alford |  Associated Press, September 14, 2012

FRANKFORT, Ky. — Senate Republican leader Mitch ­McConnell has hired some Tea Party credibility.

The Kentucky Republican has hired Jesse Benton, who steered the presidential campaign of Texas congressman Ron Paul, to head his reelection campaign in 2014. McConnell says he is committed to running a presidential-level campaign, and hiring Benton shows heknows he needs to win support from conservatives. The hire, along with McConnell’s $6 million campaign war chest, could also scare off potential Tea Party challengers.

In 2010, McConnell backed Trey Grayson for Senate, but Paul’s son, Rand, won instead — with Tea Party support. Now, Rand Paul says he supports ­McConnell’s decision to hire Benton.
