And who saw this coming? (At least Chris Kofinis got hisself a job)

Longtime Countdown fans should know Chris Kofinis. He's on every once in while telling us the Political lay of the land. He's a committed Liberal, and pretty good on TV.

Well, say goodbye, because Chris is going to be busy for a while.

He got hisself a job. (Pulling that Unemployment rate down one person at a time, eh Congress?)

He's going to work...for Joe Machin??

West Virgina U.S. Senator Joe Manchin named Chris Kofinis as his chief of staff on Monday.

Mr. Kofinis, a former top aide to Wesley Clark and John Edwards’ presidential campaigns, also advised Manchin, D-W.Va., behind the scenes during this year’s Senate campaign.

“I am extremely pleased that Chris has agreed to lead my Senate team,” Mr. Manchin said in a statement Monday.

Really? That Joe Manchin?!??

Whatever floats your boat, Senator.

I hope Chris talks him out of becoming a younger version of Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE...allegedly).
