Metzler, who had been the campaign’s political director, confirmed late Sunday that he quit the campaign, but declined further comment.
“I left her campaign and I wished her well,” Metzler said.
He said the tree incident was “not necessarily” the reason for his quitting. He hung up when asked for further reasons.
The tree incident occurred Thursday when Harris blamed the paltry turnout at a campaign rally at Orlando Executive Airport on the need to move the event because a tree had damaged the hanger in which the rally was originally scheduled. Airport officials later said no tree fell on a hanger and the rally was held in the hanger where it had been scheduled.

DOA...
The single worst political campaign in American History.
This is like watching the clown car at the circus.
I know I shouldn't, but I can't resist: Ping!!

That's not fair. Circus clowns are professionals who know what they're doing.
Either that, or the Alan Keyes campaign in 2004. But this hurts more because Florida is much redder than Illinois.
Eh...
I think the KH campaign has been dead in the water for a month or so now (and more is the shame), but I worked with Metzler in the past and it's not like this is a big loss (admittedly a cheap shot, but I know others who would agree). Surprised he stuck around this long, he was the golden boy of Carol-Jean Jordan and the RPOF a couple years ago, thought they might have pressured him to drop out ages ago...or maybe that explains his alleged lack of performance.
Asked this before, but as McBride is apparently an immigration apologist, can anyone give me a good reason NOT to vote for the Admiral? Leaning toward him by default, but know nothing more than the basics about him.
What is the significance of a tree falling in the forest that no one's sees, or can find, or that is not in the forest, or that is not only nor in the forest, but does not damage a building, that someone says was damaged?
She let the prestige go to her head. Got full of herself.
She was the same, WE were different. Too happy with our result, and too eager to bestow hero status on a woman who did nothing more than her job.
Collins is pro-abortion.
What did Katherine do to make him HATE her soooo much??? If only the RINO Florida GOP would get behind Harris, she'd be ahead by 80 points!!! Oh well it does not matter because will crush Nelson anyway once we post a few more pics of her on a horse. Hahaha!! Take that, all you Harris bashers on Bill Nelson's payroll!!! Go back to DU!!!!! If you're not for Harris you must be a Nelson supporter!!!!!

There's also Schlesinger in Connecticut. When do people start calling for Elizabeth Dole to step down as chair of the Republican Senate Campaign Committee? She has recruited very few quality candidates.
