"I always heard that you should consider once something enters public cyberspace - anything that you write via the internet could be front page news tomorrow."

Half true. You should consider it out in the open spaces where someone has the ability to capture the data. Divulging private data is illegal, however.

I have seen data streaming across a network, easily captured and decoded with a protocol analyzer. That does not give me the right to divulge the contents to a news agency or political party for use in dirty tricks campaigns.

Not to mention that he's probably a Democrat mole, to boot.

"Having such a young and inexperienced staffer at a high level of his campaign does not speak well for Istook's chances in the election, in my opinion."

Have you seen the thread entitled: Istook aide may be victim in page scandal ("Victim" Hires Major Defense Lawyer?)?

If not, you'll want to check it out, specifically the posts from PhiKapMom. She has some interesting things to say about Jordan Edmund from personal experience. It has been surmised that he was chosen because he may be the "squeeze" to Chip Englander, Istook's Campaign Manager. Both are apparently from San Diego. It's a lengthy thread, but full of info and speculations that could end up being correct.

*why would they even enter the primary for Governor if they don't want to run?*

Because running for office can be lucrative, Alan Keyes turned it into an art form. You can pay yourself, friends, and family, cover all sorts of expenses, and in general live it up. The smart ones have money left over, creates all sorts of leverage.

That's what campaign matches from the Federal Election Commission hath wrought.

Wow, that is some amazing information. Bummer for Oklahoma, though. Maybe they'll run somebody with some campaigning skills the next time.

That's probably true. However, there is not a strong Independent running like there was last time, when Largent made his mistakes. Henry likely will be re-elected, but we shall see--it is certainly no slam dunk.

he exchanged sexually explicit e-mails with former teenage pages

Notice the subtle shift in nuance... AP not calling them pages or minors... 18 and 19 year olds are teenagers... MSM beginning the long slow backpedaling process...

And the whole thing is turning into a story of SOROS/GAY Mafia blackmail and extortion...

Glenn Beck on this story NOW (on the Radio)... Talking about the fact that the alleged "victim" was 18!!! And the fact that his age was outed by a Glenn Beck Insider blogger! (Much to the dismay of ABC!)

Yes, I wondered about the use of "victim" in the title of the other thread. "Victim" of an internet conversation with sexual content? Right!

Absolutely. But it has been done anyway and here we are.

"He also identified himself as a House page from September 2001 to June 2002, which would have made him 16 and 17 then. "

No mention of his age (18) when the filthy IMs were exchanged. The ones the media have said were to an "underage teen".

Good ol' AP.
