I like Quinn, very much, but he is also likely to believe in sources who might not be 100% reliable.
From the way this sounds, this is a source in the Brownback staff — probably the presidential campaign, as they would be newer and more likely to leak than long-time staffers.
That’s possible.
I hate to think this is being dismissed out of hand just because somebody isn’t quite sure. You have to be able to stand up even if it turns out you’re wrong. Look at Matt Drudge. Speaking of Mr. Drudge, I wonder how he missed this one.
