Some point to Sen. Martinez as questions circle over source of Schiavo ‘talking points’

Research seems to support belief Martinez’s office may have links to Schiavo talking points

By John Byrne | RAW STORY Editor

As the fracas over of who authored conservative talking points on how to capitalize on the tragedy of Terri Schiavo continues, new research seems to bolster the assertion that the memo was authored by Republicans, RAW STORY has found.

Conservative blogs have raised doubts about the memo, which was first reported by ABC News. They say the memo may have been created as a Democratic “dirty trick,” noting that ABC’s transcription of the memo differs from an image of the document received by RAW STORY from a source on Capitol Hill.

But unlike the more serious discrepancies highlighted in President Bush’s National Guard files, these differences appear to have been the result of running spelling and grammar check.

RAW STORY ran the text of the ABC News memo through spelling and grammar check in Microsoft Word. The corrected result was the same as the one received from our source in Washington.

1. ahhh, any traction on this today?
If you connect the dots, Frank Jimenez was
Jeb Bush's chief Counsel before/during/after
the 2000 recount. He then went on to work
for Mel at HUD and I have to assume he went
with him to the Senate. Frank knows where
all the chads are buried so to speak.
