Bryant's Connections To the RSLC

Whether He Admits To Them Or Not

Dewey Phil Bryant said this to WLBT yesterday:

"Our campaign has really had no input in that commercial," says Bryant, who is currently State Auditor. "It's the Republican Leadership, State Leadership Organization. They decide what they want to put out there, what message they think is important."

The impression he seeks to leave is that he has no connections to the group.

The FACTS:

1. Neil Forbes, the Bryant Campaign Manager, worked for the RLSC directly before taking his current job with Bryant.

2. The RLSC purchased the domain name http://www.jamiefranks.com/ (which I wouldn't click if you don't want pop ups) over a year ago showing their interest in the race while Forbes still worked for them.

When I checked in the Spring This reflected that. They've altered it to hide that fact now.
