Ensign support deserting him

Campaign contributors, current and former staffers and even lobbyists may be re-considering their ties to a man who once served as the GOP’s primary fund-raiser in the Senate.

At least three high-profile staffers have left Ensign’s orbit after the news broke of his affair with Cynthia Hampton. This includes the departure of ex-chief of staff John Lopez, ex-communications director Tory Mazzola and Mike Slanker, who worked with Ensign as the political director of the Republican National Senatorial Committee, which Ensign chaired.

OpenSecrets has a long dissertation about Ensign’s money contributors which is well worth reading, particularly if you live in Nevada. [Source: OpenSecrets]
