Glenn Hodas: GOP Friend or Foe?

Various ^ | 8 August 2006 | NautiNurse

A verbose former Harris campaign manager has a history of saying interesting things to the press.

Harris' former campaign manager ping...

[Joe Brower]

“Unhealthy,” “unmanageable,” “uncontrollable,” “erratic behavior,” “tantrums,” “counterproductive,” “micromanaging,” “damaging”

Sounds like Hodas is describing himself more than anything.

Florida Freeper

[FFIGHTER]

Disgruntled little man.

Is Glenn Hodas a GOP friend or foe?

This is very illustrative as to why Congresswoman Harris is running such a disaster of a campaign. You would think that she would try to hire competent staff with a good work history. Instead her campaign (and her Congressional office) has been a revolving door.

I have had a bad feeling about this person for along time...Great write up NautiNurse....What a history this guy has...

[My2Cents]

The fact that he shows no discretion, that he looks for every opportunity to trash Harris, tells me that this guy is a snivelling backstabber who should be ignored.

[RNO1]

If you believe what the liberal media states then you might be right...I can see why she let this character go...

[FloridianBushFan]

True and Hodas is not the only one who has made comments about working with Harris. Other staffers who have left have all basically said the same thing that she is unbearable to work with. It is not only her campaign staff but also her congressional staff. She has had a very high turnover rate on both staffs. There has been way to many people to leave for them all to be RINO's or part of a GOP conspiracy against her, like some here on FR believe. I'm sure Harris checked out his past work history before hiring him so she knew what she was getting when she hired him.

This thread is about Glenn Hodas. If you want to refute any of the information provided, have at it. You will not, however, highjack this thread into your typical Harris bash fest.

[FloridianBushFan]

Why can't you handle a sensible debate. You are post a vanity saying that Glen Hodas is wrong and that nothing was Harris fault. The other side and point of view does have a right to be defended. I was not bashing Harris I only stated that Hodas is not the only one out there stating that Harris was unbearable to work with. Many other staffers have gone on record and said the same thing. You know there are always two sides to a story.

[FloridianBushFan]

Please correct the title and mark it as a Vanity. The poster is just stating her own opinions on a topic with using clips of articles that points to her view. In fact one of the links does not even go to what she is stating.

If he is such a character, then why did she hire him in the first place? I cannot understand how she has hired so many lousy staffers.

[FloridianBushFan]

I apologize the link did work

[NautiNurse]

What's the deal with Hodas telling the world how his female clients should dress? Good grief.

[Nick Danger]

We saw how well it worked to have some woman advising Al Gore. Guy looked like some kind of orange clown. Maybe Hodas dressed his candidate up to look like Al Gore. No wonder she lost.

This irks me, thou I admit I seldom see it. A few people assume that essays written by freepers are somehow worth less than the ones they copy elsewhere. That just shows that you have little sense of who you are exposed to here. Anyone you see or hear in the media may be lurking or contributing under a pseudonym. So discuss ideas and don't go by labels.

[ClaireSolt]

These people can be real arrogant. After the 2002 election I went to a meeting to debrief poll watchers. I complained that I want a real congressman, and an employee of the Fl Republican party told me to move. (Alcee Hastings is my congressman by some corrupt agreement). The professional handlers like to think that they are the real big shots. I would like less professionalization in our politics. I think Harris is more appealing lately bcause she seems to have struggled to get free of those know it alls and is being herself.

What an obnoxious reply you received.

I was driven to research this fellow Hodas because I could not comprehend the complete lack of privilege demonstrated to a former client. I figured if he did this to Harris, who else has he aimed to publicly undermine? Fortunately, with the internet and Google, there was a small treasure of Hodas' history to be found.

A lot of REAL conservatives are getting fed up with local Republican Party groups, and with the bigwigs in T-see telling us from on high who our representative shall be.

Go Harris!
