I think I remember seeing this guy’s name in “Going Rogue,” but unfortunately the book doesn’t have an index, so I can’t immediately check it.
I gather, however, that he is a part of the Dirty Bastards Club, and is an enemy of Palin and Miller.
Here’s an informative article suggesting that, which I found by searching for his name, from back in 2008:

Pretty clear that this guy is part of the problem.
By the way. Read that whole article. It quotes Palin as laughing because Ruedrich neglected to list her name on the Republican Party website after she became Governor.
Ruedrich said he “forgot.” But he didn’t forget to list Frank Murkowski earlier.
