Note to Davis' Paid Hacks

If you’re going to “leak” a script used by Powers volunteers to phone-canvass voters in the 26th District, don’t refer to it as a “push poll” unless it’s really a push poll.

If the caller identifies himself as a volunteer for a candidate and tries to get a voter to change his mind about their selection, it’s advocacy, not push polling.

Idiots.

    The funny thing is, I went to Buffalo Bean’s site to see the script.

    I’ve spend several nights making phone calls for Powers and walked door to door for him – not ONCE have I seen that script.

    Did Davis “leak” a fake script? Is he that desperate?

    Its more than a little disingenuous of the Bean to not change the post entirely rather than tacking on a chagrined-sounding correction.

    So Davis bribe’s people, he lies, and no he’s a thief?

    We can assume the only way he got the call script is by sending in a “spy” to call for Powers and then steal the script.

    That’s truly sad… if Davis spent half the time actually talking with people than playing spy games and making fake websites – he might actually have had a chance.

    I have volunteered as a caller for Powers for Congress and I have never seen this script before.
