Fresh upheaval engulfed Ben Carson’s troubled presidential campaign on New Year’s Eve as his campaign manager and spokesman both resigned abruptly.
The resignations of Barry Bennett, the campaign manager, and Doug Watts, his spokesman, came as they were about to be dismissed, the campaign said, and as Mr. Carson had been sliding in polls amid questions about his grasp of foreign policy and scrutiny of his own biographical narrative.
“Barry Bennett and I have resigned from the Carson campaign effective immediately,” Mr. Watts said in an email.
“We respect the candidate and we have enjoyed helping him go from far back in the field to top-tier status,” he added, pointing to how much money the campaign said Thursday that it had raised — about $23 million in the last three months.

Wow, 20 staff members? Sheeit!
I'm on perpetual hold with Microsoft tech "support," trying to reinstall Office on another computer after its original host machine died. Boy they do not like to do this.
I have to seize every opportunity to use the term "jailbreak." I'm still struggling for a way to use it on the story about Marco Rubio's jailbird brother-in-law.

Hey Jake!
I'm on perpetual hold with Microsoft tech "support," trying to reinstall Office on another computer after its original host machine died. Boy they do not like to do this.
In case of emergency, install Open Office. It will do most of what Office does, and is free.
Thanks for this. Just installed it, and have to say it's the best thing to happen to this nation since Ben Carson.
I came here to say as much. One can explain away losing a campaign manager (differences in strategy, personality clash &etc) but 20 staffers?
The Doctor is out…
