DEL.ICIO.USJust Brilliant: Cox’s ex-manager to run S.C. Dems, making inter-state talks wonderfully awkward
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The first manager of Cathy Cox’s campaign for governor, fired last year for dabbling in Wikipedia, has landed a temp job running the South Carolina Democratic party.
Morton Brilliant will serve through April. He was hired to replace Lachlan McIntosh, who took a position with the ’08 presidential campaign of Bill Richardson, the governor of New Mexico.
Brilliant was canned by Cox for tinkering with the entry for Lt. Gov. Mark Taylor on the on-line encyclopedia.
Joe Erwin, the chairman of the S.C. Democratic party, noted that Brilliant “has a lot of experience managing high-pressure, demanding situations.” This according to The State newspaper in Columbia, S.C.
Morton is also a former aide to former Gov. Jim Hodges of that state.
