This is so sad that I have no comment.

The entire Power Point presentation can be viewed here.

Most of this looks like what Freepers have been saying for months.

Nothing on this disk is exactly secret information - it's virtually all public domain stuff that the Dems already know just as well as the Repubs. This is much ado about nothing.

So, is this like the body of a soldier that washed up on the shore, just before D-Day, and that had an envelope carrying secret invasion plans?

You know, if that Democrat Mark Mcwhatever his name is guy turns out to have had some hand in preparing these, I am going to be really pissed.

Looks like the Pentagon isn't the only place in town with an Office of Strategic Disinformation. Oh yeah, I forgot, they said they changed their minds about that. Yeah...right. LOL If I were a demonrat I'd take anything they read on that disk with a grain of salt...or not.

Curious that -- whatever else -- a document that has the Republicans likely ('Strong') to gain five seats versus the Democrats two is spun this way. The document indicates the Republicans are bullish on regaining the Senate but the mediacrats spin, spin, spin.

PS: Whomever 'mislaid' this document should be shot at dawn ... shades of the Goreski 'Tapegate'.

Could be just to spoof the Democrats. Give them something to call the press with, then nail 'em like idiots. It's kinda funny.

was picked up off the pavement by a Senate Democratic aide, who has been happily passing it on to others.

This is so obviously a lie I can't believe anyone on this board would believe it. The dems stole this disk, probably the AV person made a copy.

Just like the Georgia couple that "accidentally" tape recorded Newt Gingrich's phone call a few years back.

The disk was stolen, STOLEN, I tell you.

LOL.... and this is a big secret (especially Smith the Independent)..... I suspect any presentation to a group of Activist is possibly subject to being leaked, but the disk lying on a street corner.... well goof ups do happen

The disk, which also includes a more detailed Power Point presentation on the political climate for the 2002 and 2004 elections prepared by senior Bush aide Karl Rove, was picked up off the pavement by a Senate Democratic aide, who has been happily passing it on to others.

Yeah, right. Kinda of like the couple in Florida? that accidentally picked up the cell phone conversation between the Republicans. Right....

This gets more media hype than when Clinton left the "football" and it had to be retrieved by his Secret Service men..........I'm sure there were more confidential documents in that than anything in this strategy tape from the GOB..........and, what's more, maybe it was left there DELIBERATELY.......the Demos are frantic for any kind of info..............heh heh!!

Don't be sad.

Folks, PLEASE review Exit 109's link to the briefing. I don't know how the press could spin the presentation as bad for the Republicans, because it really looks GOOD!!!!

Just take a look and tell us what you think.

The disk, . . . was picked up off the pavement by a Senate Democratic aide, who has been happily passing it on to others.

This is like finding someone's personal papers and instead of attempting to return them, making copies and gleefully handing them out to everyone without apology. I know this is politics and all is fair, but I find this distasteful and immoral.

. . .there may have been another copy in the possession of the person handling the audio-visual portion of the presentation who “may have forgotten to delete it.”

BINGO!!! Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the only way to avoid this is to use your own machine for the presentation. Oh you can stand there and watch the techie delete the file- but he can just go back and recover it after you have left.

Or it was just an out and out theft from a desk drawer. Or- if the machine is on a LAN(local network) I think it's not to hard for an "Uber Geek" or even a sys admin. to get pretty much whatever he wants.

AFL-CIO $45.0 million
Emily’s List $20.0 million
Planned Parenthood $14.0 million
NAACP $11.0 million
Sierra Club $ 9.5 million
NEA $ 9.0 million
NARAL $ 8.0 million
Handgun Control $ 5.0 million
LCV $ 4.0 million
TOTAL $125.5 million

Interesting numbers from the slides (11) from the Republican presentation.

One question.

Some of these people are listed as 501(c) non-profit, non-political organizations to dodge income taxes. Some of these organizations actually receive tax monies.

WHY ARE THEY NOT BEING TAXED AS POLITCAL UNITS ?
