Ok, so, I just got off the phone with Jim Green, campaign manager for Jotham Stein.. And, no, for those of you wondering, I am not switching loyalties, I am still a Laesch supporter. But I heard the most incredible rumor, and decided I had to follow up on it.
The rumor, in a nutshell, was this: I heard that someone in the Foster campaign had taken recently to drawing faces and scrawling messages on Stein’s first mailer, which depicts Stein arms raised, crying out for change, and faxing them over to the Stein campaign.
I figured maybe some quite young Foster volunteer had amused himself by drawing one or two such caricatures and faxing them over. I know, as does anyone who has worked on a campaign, that you can’t control every single last thing your volunteers do. So I called Green to follow up, but the facts of the case, as he related them, really surprised me.
