I'll be happy to send you his e-mail address. He worked with Reagan and was important to the Dole campaign. This year, he spent his time in Winsconsin canvassing for the Republicans. The practice of participating in the caucuses and primaries is nothing new and, indeed, if you look around there are news stories about it.
Finally, this bullshit about calling everything a conspiracy theory is...well...bullshit.
When parties strategize, they also think about who their favorite opponent is.
People do sit around in smoke filled rooms and make plans. THAT is not conspiracy theorizing. It's a fact. Just as democrats plotted ways to get rid of Ralph. Just as republicans plotted ways to help Ralph.
Can we have some sort of FAQ about conpiracy theory and its definition so we can post it every time someone uses it as a substanceless slam.
