Erica C. Barnett has a good scoop: Consultant Blair Butterworth is dropping Mayoral Candidate James Donaldson, and may be switching over to Jan Drago.

I'm not surprised Butterworth would bail on Donaldson. The former Sonic is $4,000 in the red. 

Meanwhile, I've got some more news about the Drago poll. Drago's poll reportedly (and ironically) shows that she loses to Donaldson in the primary. 

According to sources who have seen the poll, the results in a primary standoff are approximately: 

Nickels 20

Donaldson 10

Drago 9

McGinn 6

Mallahan 3

Sigler 2
