... Failor's decision to leave is a devastating blow to Team Pataki. It also could lead to even more of their Iowa team jumping ship. I see that Loras Schulte has now parted ways, could Stew Iverson be next? I also have to wonder if Craig Schoenfeld would have signed on with Pataki if he knew Failor was not planning on staying. What seemed to be an impressive team is now krumbling before we even flip the calendar to 2007. While many of us questioned Failor and the others for signing on with Pataki, they brought Pataki instant credibility in Iowa, even with some konservatives. I don't see how Team Pataki can recover from this type of blow. I'm sure in a few months Failor will resurface with another Presidential Kampaign. My bet is McCain since he is close to Terry Nelson, Chuck Larson and others. I could be wrong on that, while some people always want to work with their friends on campaigns, there are some who would rather work against them because it's just more fun.
