Christie to Vt: ‘Candidates matter’
By Peter Hirschfeld
Vermont Press Bureau | December 13,2013That was the message from the Republican governor of New Jersey this week as he regaled nearly 700 members of the Vermont GOP with the story of his own unlikely rise in a state where politics tend to run the same shade of blue as in Vermont.
[..]Media were barred from the fundraising gala at the Champlain Valley Expo in Essex Junction, but an audio recorder belonging to the Vermont Press Bureau made it past the gates. In addition to Christie, the recording captured speeches by Lt. Gov. Phil Scott and Rep. Heidi Scheuermann, who were among the lead organizers of an event they say marked the dawn of a new era in the Vermont Republican Party.

Wow … I gotta say very impressive. Like the oldschool journalists that used to hide in closets eavesdropping to get stories.
A standing O for VPB & Peter Hirschfeld & most of all the “smuggler”.
Christie has cracked the code:
‘Just find yerself a candidate!!!
‘Bet they wish they had thought of that!
‘Wonder if the hormones that fattened that 52-lb. goppler were locally sourced, too?
Congratulations to the Rutland Herald for their bravery in breaking the VTGOP’s anti-Vermont attempt at censorship.
I know when I have to record audio in a clandestine manner, I use my iPod Touch with the ear buds dangling from a breast pocket. Just open the VoiceMemo app and start it recording before you go in, and then ignore it the whole time you are in there.
