Dave Johnson, currently the campaign manager with Jamie Radtke for U.S. Senate, has been floating his resume around unsolicited to various firms in Richmond, according to a source on background.
Thus far, Radtke’s campaign has been floundering after a $250K start last year. Since that time, Radtke has been hounded by Tea Party infighting, polls in the single digits, and an unwillingness to debate anyone but former Governor George Allen to the point of sidestepping a Shenandoah Tea Party debate last month.
Radtke’s campaign is $85,472 in debt and only $43,163 on hand as of the last FEC filing.

Update from J.R. Hoeft:
Had a chance to chat with Jamie Radtke tonight. She says that Johnson is in the same status on the campaign that he has been since August.
She states unequivocally, “I can tell you this, Dave is staying on the campaign. He isn’t going anywhere!”
Apparently there was something lost in the communication with the Washington Post’s Anita Kumar who is reporting Johnson’s resignation, even though Jamie says she was in the room during the phone interview.
However, Johnson has been in an a reduced status since August due to personal concerns and nothing performance or campaign related.
