However, I don't like WND telephoning the family, its pointless at best if the tactful in-person approach did not work, and at worst its just bring back the memory of losing a child.
There is no way that conservatives could outbid any theoretical Obama plumbing team, so please no approaches to the family offering small amounts of cash, just leave them be.
The Sunahara File number is only one possible candidate, the other close births could belong to families who may be loyal Democrats - folks who take on party loyalty like loyalty to a sports team, so those are possible too.
I agree with you - I thought WND phoning the woman in that way was a bad move.
The ONLY good thing it did was to hopefully discourage others from contacting her in a similar way.
