As the team on Gov. Pawlenty’s now concluded presidential campaign works to recoup a campaign debt of some half-million dollars, their fingers have begun pointing toward the campaign’s manager, Nick Ayers, as the person to blame for the decisions that put the campaign into debt — and, by many accounts, as simply an unpleasant human being to work with.

Wasn’t Ayers the guy who ran the National Governors Association efforts in 2010? If so, he was lauded there and had a tremendous performance. Not sure if I have the right guy. I do remember when he signed on with T-Paw, and it was considered a coup.
Unscrupulous Pawlenty and his overpaid staff trying to shift the blame to others.

I don’t know why anyone is surprised by any of this stuff. I really don’t.
I’ve seen guys like him 100 times over. Egos so out of proportion to their stature it’s almost comical. Not limited to any particular age or background either. Some people can’t handle the least bit if power that they are given.
That's him, from 2007-2011. He was considered a candidate for RNC chair but declined to run.
