HAIGHT SPEECH

Now where have I heard a story like this before?

The Washington state headquarters for the president’s re-election campaign was broken into last night, and police are investigating the theft of three computers from the Bellevue office.

Missing are laptop computers used by the campaign’s executive director, the head of the get-out-the-vote effort and one that had been set for delivery to the campaign’s Southwest Washington field director, said Jon Seaton, executive director of the state’s George W. Bush campaign.

“If you’re just some burglar looking for computers to sell to buy drugs you take every laptop in the office maybe,” he said. “But they knew exactly whose computers to get. They got the executive director’s computer and the get-out-the-vote director’s computer.”

People have been arguing about which other campaign year this one most resembles. I think this is a data point for “1972″, although that would imply that Kerry is going to win, and win big, and then get impeached out of office.
