Thanks for clearing this up -- wonder why the Prowler went with this story? Perhaps they have less than zero knowledge of how stuff works. The only realistic possability might be that a someone could have pointed a video camera at the screen and videotaped the presentation & slipped it to the Dems.

In accord with Occam's Razor, the simplest explanation is most likely the best. I agree with your explanation, that someone at the hotel must have secretly recorded the presentation. Here's more evidence to support your theory:

Hotels are filled with staff. The staff are usually unionized, and Democratic. Therefore, there is a long list of potential suspects for what you describe.

Here would be the acid test. If the press could find out what "quality" of the presentation the Democrats had, the answer would be clear. Immediately after blockbuster movies appear, pirate editions crop up on tape in the Far East. If the Democrats have the CONTENT of the presentation, but not the QUALITY, then it is clear they did not get a digital copy of the original, but a video copy of the presentation.

The latter answer would point to political spying, so the Washington Post would not touch the story with a ten-foot pole. But the Washington Times could probably get the story.

Hardly. The most obvious explanation, is a sympathizer, Writing down the points, and reproducing the Presentation...Considering that NO ONE has Seen the Dems Copy and the Pub Copy, you dont even know that they are in the same layout. It is more likely that the points were written down, and McAuliffe is crowing to make his boys look good.....(also not last week, the Prowler quoted McAuliffe, as Hoping to KEEP the senate....conceding the possibility of a loss..)
