Moreover, this is a major deception. However, there has been no effort to identify the official and question him about the practice.The staging of politics is a practice that the Bush Administration and others have made an art. When these abuses occur, it is important to run down the facts and hold people accountable.

The question now is: when the campaign says they won’t do this going forward, do they mean they won’t do it in a way that will get caught?

It’s easier to get supporters to ask questions; they won’t talk to the media. Or at least they are more likely to obey the campaign’s request not to talk to the media, which thankfully this young woman did not.

This whole thing stinks.
