Oh, and according to the article, it appears that the "confidential" information consisted of private cell phone numbers of various Democrats who had gone over to McCain's camp.

One of the names on the list is a Democrat lawyer friend. I was glad to see it, but only because I always suspected he would vote his character and not his party affiliation.

When I am elected POTUS, he will be my appointment for Attorney General.

Oh, and it wasn’t the McCain group exactly. It was from a group called something like “Democrats for McCain”.

I remember that one... ooof. It was bad.

Seeing the "cigar smoker" get reelected was just awful.

I’m not that young, and the original poster was correct.

Besides Palin, McCain did almost nothing right.

The guy was a total turd of a candidate.

LOL - nice try, and a quick peek at your homepage reveals your real agenda.
How long have you been suffering from McCain Derangement Syndrome?

My idea is to disconnect from the Democrat primaries completely, have them on our own dates and schedule.

Only registered Republicans get to vote and the order is determined by the outcome of the last election.

For example, if your state went 70/30 Repubs over Dems you hold your primary before the state that went 69/31, etc. That way the most conservative states get to give the most conservative candidates a head start on delegate count.

I didn't defend a damned thing you self righteous big mouth.
My original point was that the Dole campaign was MUCH worse than McCain's.
BTW, your tee shirt order came in ...

True. Dole-Kemp was lamer still. But I will go to the mat arguing that Dole performed better in his debates than McCain did.

But most of the numbers were private cell phones for campaign leaders, politicians, lobbyists and journalists.

We called some of the numbers.

"Somebody made a mistake," one owner told us. "People's numbers and addresses were supposed to be erased."

"They should have wiped that stuff out," another said. But he added, "Given the way the campaign was run, this is not a surprise."

We called the McCain-Palin campaign, who says, "it was an unfortunate staff error and procedures are being put in place to ensure all information is secure."

And I say again, what manner of fools were associated with this campaign? I hope that no real Pubbies ever hire any of these clowns again.
