Don't know much about Jeb Bush advisor, Don't know much about McKeon (New Guy)...

But I know Mercury Public Affairs reputation and Kieran Mahoney. Mahoney is the one to give our New York State Jean Pirro for United States Senate along with the rest of the State GOP.

Conservative Party Jim Kelly promised and did in fact....Get rid of both of them within two months from the US Senate race and gave you Mayor John Spencer.

Kelly is with George Marlin, meaning they are pushing together that "White Paper" Liz talked about on the Rudy Quotes. That is the end of Rudy if Mercury is defending Rudy.
