RNC Fires Fundraising Director, a Penn State Alum

The Republican National Committee fired its top two financial officers last Friday, the higher of whom, Rob Bickhart, happened to graduate from Penn State in 1978. The reasons cited in asking for Bickhart and his deputy's resignations were, according to RNC Chief of Staff Michael Leavitt, "to improve on strong fundraising numbers" and to "help to provide the resources for defeating Democrats across the country."


More on why Bickhart was fired after the jump.
