They Have It All Figured Out

You remember how I told you about Rick Perry’s campaign treasurer, Kelcy Warren also being a $6 million contributor to Rick’s SuperPAC, and how that’s all very confusing because campaigns and SuperPACs are not supposed to coordinate?

Well, you can quit fretting about it.  They have it all figured out.

“Even though he has a title with the campaign, if the campaign keeps him out of strategic planning and other decision making with regards to spending money, I think they’re going to be OK,” said Kenneth Gross, head of the political law practice at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP.

Oh really?  But, there’s more:  Austin Barbour is senior adviser to the three related pro-Perry super PACs.  He says …

Barbour said the super PAC specifically warned Warren about the coordination rules, to make sure he understood he couldn’t discuss strategy with the campaign.

Warren was not deeply immersed in strategic decisions for either the campaign or the super PAC, Barbour added.

Okay, so the deal is this: “He just gives us money, but he’s not allowed to have an opinion.”

Cheeezzz … I’ve been looking for a man like that all my damn life.
