Ron Paul's Political Director Jesse Benton Quits Campaign for Liberty - Hit & Run : Reason.com

Ron Paul's Political Director Jesse Benton Quits Campaign for Liberty - Hit & Run : Reason.com, Brian Doherty:

September 11 - "Jesse Benton, Rep Ron Paul's controversial political director and the de facto guy in charge of the political end of the Ron Paul operation (though never officially the "campaign manager") has left the position in the larger Paul machine he held between the 2008 and 2012 runs, senior vice president of the Campaign for Liberty. (Benton also managed Rand Paul's winning Senate campaign in 2010 in the interim.)"

Benton said ... in his public resignation letter to Campaign for Liberty president, and Paul 2012's official campaign manager, John Tate: "After much soul searching, I have decided that my passion lies in direct electoral politics, and I plan to work on campaigns.... It is therefore with a heavy heart that I write to tell you that I will not rejoin Campaign for Liberty’s staff this fall....

"Benton is also married to Paul's granddaughter Valori Pyeatt."
