Abbott Is Busy

Another point about that PPH blog-themed piece: It's the first place where I've seen Steve Abbott identified as both "Collins' chief of staff" and "campaign manager."

Is this kosher? My hunch is that it must be, as long as he does all campaign-related work outside of the normal senate schedule.

But how unusual is it for a senator's chief of staff to do double-duty as campaign manager in a hotly-contested race? A year before election day?

If you know, drop us a line.
