DeLay's Policy Director Jumping Ship?

A senior member of Tom "the hummer" DeLay's (he really sucks!) team is leaving his side at quite an akward time. Does anyone else see this as a rat scurrying off of a sinking ship?

Yahoo! News - DeLay: She'll Be Missed; Majority Leader's Policy Director Joins K-Street Firm: "Sullivan had been with DeLay for over six years and was elevated to policy director for the Majority Leader at the beginning of 2003. Prior to that, she served as DeLay's senior appropriations adviser, developing and implementing the House leadership's appropriations and budget strategy as well as coalition strategies with grassroots groups and members of Congress. She was a key member of DeLay's leadership team throughout, as the point of contact between House leadership and Senate leadership while policy director and as the leadership contact for Republican members in the appropriations process during her stint as senior appropriations adviser."


You have to figure that things are not looking to good in the DeLay camp. His supporters deserting him, even the shills that used to love him have a hard time not noticing what he is doing, and just as the Department of Justice is stepping into the investigations a senior member of his team jumps ship for a Lawfirm. Maybe Sullivan thinks she and DeLay will need the lawyers help in the near future?
