Greenberg Campaign In Shambles

As we pointed out in our fundraising roundup yesterday, in his bid to unseat Rep. Melissa Bean in the 8th Cong. District, Republican candidate Steve Greenberg only had $5,000 cash on hand at the end of March (as compared to Bean's $1.3 million war chest). And now, as Capitol Fax and others have noted, his campaign manager has jumped ship:

Brad Goodman's departure from the campaign's helm has been in the works for a while, said Greenberg, who's challenging two-term Democrat Melissa Bean for the 8th District House seat.

"We have a path and a plan for the general election, and we needed another look for that," said Greenberg, a Long Grove businessman.

Whatever Greenberg meant by "another look," he apparently doesn't need it too urgently:

Brad Goodman left the campaign's top staff position this week, and Greenberg said it will be "a few months" before he names an official replacement to lead the general election effort.
