Foley Update: It was a democratic strategist peddling the story after all

  1. Okay, I'll bite...

    So what? Is this indicative that any Democrat in the House or Senate knew and withheld the information? The same site asks, semi-rhetorically, how the story was kept under wraps for so long. Apparently, the 'info' was being peddled out there in May.

    I'm not sure the relevance, Cate. I mean, wouldn't it have been better if the 'leak' came from a Republican? But, like you've said in other threads, when the Republican leadership found out the full extent, Foley was out within the hour. I guess it's too bad that this information didn't reach the leadership sooner.

  2. The democrats did not want to information to reach the Repubican leadership at all. If it had reached them sooner, it would not have had the desired on the eve of the election effect.
