A Second McCain Aide Resigns
11 May 2008
Doug Daven****t, the regional campaign manager for the mid-Atlantic
states, founded the DCI Group's lobbying practice and oversaw the
contract with Myanmar in 2002.
"Doug has tendered his resignation and we have accepted it," Jill
Hazelbaker, McCain's communications director, wrote in a e-mail.
He joins former DCI Group CEO Doug Goodyear, who resigned yesterday
from the post of convention CEO after Newsweek re****ted that DCI was
paid more than $300,000 to represent Myanmar's ruling junta.
Goodyear and Daven****t were recruited by McCain's campaign manager,
Rick Davis, who has been accused by some current and former McCain
advisers of take insufficient care of McCain's reformer brand by
appointing lobbyists to key positions.
Ironically, as Newsweek re****ted, Goodyear was asked to become
convention CEO after Davis's lobbying firm partner, Paul Manafort, was
nixed because of his own close ties to foreign governments and
controversial companies.
