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
