You never know though. She might just want attention for herself, or she might want to try and get the Kerry campaign's name out there. Kind of a "look at me, I'm supporting Kerry." type thing.




I doubt it. That's a pretty high price to pay for attention or a publicity stunt, don't you think? Losing her job without a guarantee of getting rehired, either at her own job or somewhere else? Would you throw away your job, your only means of support, just to support your candidate or get a few minutes of attention?

Also, this story has been around for about a week, and I've yet to hear anything that disproves this story in any way.



I'm not saying ti's true, I've been fired from enough jobs for the dumbest reasons, I'm saying you never know. The way this campaign's been going, I wouldn't put it past certain people to try and pull a stunt like this. After all, if this is all a pulicity stunt, then they could be paying her for it.

just a thought....



It's possible - but if this whole thing was rigged and prearranged, I have a feeling someone would have found out about it and leaked it. You can't keep a secret like that in a campaign this ugly.

Also, the woman ended up at a new job with the same salary and health benefits. Doesn't sound like much of a payoff. If she got a raise, or a cushier gig, I'd be more skeptical about her motives. And there's no mention of her being paid a secret bonus, which I doubt could go unnoticed. I'm sure there are people who monitor stuff like this and look for evidence or possibilities of payoffs. We would have probably heard about it if there was a payoff.

Also, just a random thought: Wasn't there a similar discussion on whether or not the incident with a Bush/Cheney sign being ripped out of a little girl's hands was rigged or not?
