McCain campaign info sold at bargain price
Posted by Richard on December 14, 2008
The McCain campaign sold off campaign equipment the other day in Washington, including laptop computers and Blackberry phones. Local Fox affiliate reporters scooped up some of the Blackberry PDAs for the bargain price of $20 each and discovered that they came with free bonuses:
Personal information for a former Virginia Governor is one of more than 300 'contacts' listed inside a second Blackberry phone purchased by FOX 5 during a fire sale at the McCain-Palin headquarters this week.
FOX 5 Investigative Reporter Tisha Thompson broke the story late Thursday night, just hours after she purchased a $20 Blackberry from the campaign.
That Blackberry contained hundreds of emails giving an insider's view of the “Citizens for McCain” organization.
FOX 5 has bought a second phone from the McCain campaign which contains even more information: photos from the Republican Convention, a personal calendar for campaign events leading up to the campaign, and more than 260 'contacts' full of personal emails, phone numbers and addresses for McCain supporters.
Pretty funny. No word on what was on the laptops. But don't worry, Republicans. I'm sure the main thing to be learned from the McCain campaign's inside info is how not to run for president.
