Robin-gate

Robin-gate distilled: It all seems really messy, but there are some accusations that seem like they might need some further looking into. I will be the first to say that I am not the most objective person when it comes to these facts, but I have read all the articles that have come out on this, and here seems to be the talking points.

1) Robin who is campaigning as a fiscal conservative, left the TN republican party with a $19,000 overdraft and $100,000 in debt.
2)As Robin left the TN Republican Party she arranged for a very large bonus to be paid to a member of her team, who then left his position with the TN Republican Party. Shortly after leaving he used that money to start working as a volunteer with "Team Robin" until she could raise enough funds to put him on as full time campaign staff, which she later did.
3) Robin accused Chip of lying about her money issues, but the documents show that the party did have a significant shortfall and that Chuck was in fact correct.

Again, I know I am in no way impartial, but this does seem interesting. Now there is a ton of he said she said that goes along with this, so it is for each of us to dig through the facts and find the truth.
