The Rest of The Field: Rolling In The Benjamins Redux

Yesterday, we did the front runners. Today, we post the salaries of the New Hampshire staff for the rest of the field. Note: Mike Huckabee and Mike Gravel reported no paid staffers in the state. Here is the list:

Dems:

Biden:
Jim Ryan, NH Chair: $11,250
Heidi Mitchell, Deputy State Director: $7,324.07

Dodd:
Sean Downey, Political Director: $12,568.50
Dana Kelly, Field Director: $6,345.54

For the rest of the field, the one number that jumps out is Maura Keefe getting paid by Chris Dodd for "political consulting." She earned $37,500 in the second quarter. Keefe is a former adviser to Howard Dean's 2004 campaign and is currently in charge of building support for Dodd in Iowa and New Hampshire.

The Kucinich and Cox staffers seem a bit... overpaid, don't you think, considering their 0% polling positions?
