Angelides campaign blamed for leak of Ahnold's "hot blooded" comment

[Nikki Stone 1]

Just watched local news and it was basically a hit piece on Phil Angelides. Apparently CHP is looking into allegations of hacking (why CHP?) of governor's servers by Angelides campaign. Anybody have the real info on this?

1. So Arnold is only a sexist bigot in private?

3. No, There are plenty of female journalists out there who could say not

I met one when Ahnold was first running and she gave me an earful. I wouldn't vote him in for dog catcher.

7. I LOVE this paragraph...:sarcasm:

"On Tuesday, Calfo denied wrongdoing by the Angelides campaign, saying the aides got the audio files from a public website requiring no password. Schwarzenegger's team said the files came from an area of the website that required a password for entrance. The Times has refused to name its source.

Whether anyone broke the law or not, Schwarzenegger campaign manager Steve Schmidt said, it was unethical of Angelides aides to download tapes of the governor's private conversations and use them for political gain.

"Mr. Angelides is in very close proximity to a dirty campaign trick," said Schmidt, who suggested that Angelides had a "long track record of running his campaigns in the gutter.""

From the Rovian GOP???

4. Ah, so there is NO blame for Ahhnuld's actually SAYING it n/t

6. EXACTLY. The blame has shifted to the Angelides campaign

with Ahnold saying that he doesn't "have time for the little details". Taking the "high road" approach.
