Insiders have recently emailed the Oklahoma Political News Service questioning the timing of the vacation of "Victory 2006" Chair Marsha Funk. They don't deny that campaigns can be mentally and physically taxing for both the candidate and the campaign staff. Ms. Funk was an aide to the unsuccessful campaign of Corporate Commissioner Denise Bode for the CD 5 Republican nomination. Everyone deserves to take a little time off to relax and rejuvenate themselves. Insiders question taking a vacation forty five days before an election, especially when the Victory initiative has been listing along since March with no apparent plan for success. OKPNS will continue to investigate. Posted at 9/25/2006 11:39:00 AM
