Unfortunately the pictures of me with Amanda came out all blurry, but the picture of <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/scriptingnews/130369244/">Andrew and Amanda</a> came out great. They are very nice people, we talked about a lot of interesting stuff, both on and off camera. Left me all talked-out, and that doesn't happen very often! Big take-away, gotta get BitTorrent support into NewsRiver.

It has low-level Republican operatives involved in dirty campaign tricks. It has checks from donors with murky backgrounds. It has telephone calls to the White House. What is unclear is whether it is the work of a few rogue actors, or something larger."</p> <p>The blogger responsible for this story is <a href="http://betsydevine.weblogger.com/">Betsy Devine</a>. She camped out in the New Hampshire courthouse, and kept driving the story until today, when it appeared on the op-ed page of the NY Times.
