Antonio: Barrett
Antonio: we're going to have a developing story coming out soon
Antonio: and if played right we think it can get us a lot of national attention
me: what's the story?
Antonio: there's a local "Democrat" - member of the House of Delegates
Antonio: he's been loyal to Forbes for years
Antonio: he's also a member of the DNC (one of those "superdelegates")
Antonio: we have audio of him on a radio show
Antonio: I haven't listened yet
Antonio: but
Antonio: he basically says
Antonio: "if you love Jesus - vote Republican"
Antonio: "if you want to be damned to hell - vote Democrat"
Antonio: he says he will "go to hell" if he supports Wynne
me: is he black?
Antonio: yep
me: what's your plan thus far?
Antonio: well
Antonio: the good thing is
Antonio: every actual Democrat in the state, white and black, already despises him
Antonio: so we've tipped off a couple of local left-leaning bloggers and they're going to do their damage
Antonio: but I was hoping you'd have some ideas about how to take this to national liberal media
me: I imagine so, let me get back to you in a few minutes when I get home
Antonio: the story is that there's an elected Democrat carrying a Bush-era message for the GOP: an "R" vote is a vote for God, a "D" vote is for satan!
me: gotcha
Antonio: alright
Antonio: we're not going to officially do anything with this audio
Antonio: but I'm going to send it over to you
Antonio: and if some of the juicier text ends up somewhere online
me: okay
Antonio: I won't complain
me: I'll take care of it
Antonio: but the campaign had nothing to do with it
Antonio: cool
