Here's one way to hurt your chances of getting hired next campaign cycle: A disgruntled former consultant for Republican Mike Berryhill has turned to the Web to bash his ex-boss' bid for Congress.
Campaign consultant John Villarreal posted a multipart rant on YouTube accusing Berryhill of breaching his consulting contract. During the more than 25 minutes of rambling recordings shot in front of a UC Berkeley football poster, Villarreal slams the Republican's campaign as a lost cause.
"I have a national name reputation that I put on the line for you, Mike, for you, because you signed this contract and you told me to my face what the deal was and that we were cool and that you would honor that and now you left me out to dry," Villarreal says in the third of four videos he has posted. "When you lose and your campaign loses, that's on you. ... that's on team Berryhill."
Berryhill is challenging Democratic Rep. Dennis Cardoza, who has represented the 18th Congressional District since 2003.
