Will be interesting to see if he feeds talking points/insider info to the AP's Michael Gormley. In late 2007 the Albany wire-service writer seemed to get a heads-up on Stone's, uh, wet work, regarding Eliot Spitzer. In a Gormley story from Nov. 24, 2007, just five days after Stone sent a letter tipping the FBI to Spitzer's hooker habit and three months before Spitzer's downfall, there was this:
"He's done,” said Roger Stone, a Washington political consultant who worked on President Nixon's re-election and worked for presidents Bush and Reagan. “I don't think he'll be re-nominated.”
Of course, Stone, according to Stone, had a lot to do with that. If he's launched a sneak attack on the 20th race, though, it hasn't started well. A judge says they can start counting the absentee ballots Wednesday, which isn't what the GOP wanted.
