A flurry of calls from Michelle Nunn's supporters came a day after the 144-page series of memos outlining her campaign strategy was exposed, and they used phrases like "routine" and "old news" and "a lot about nothing."
Some spoke on record and other spoke on background. But all calls were arranged by the Democrat’s campaign as an effort to push back on further stories about the leak.
One caller was the Rev. Raphael Warnock, the leader of Ebenezer Baptist Church and one of Nunn’s most prominent black supporters. He said he wasn’t surprised that “people are trying to make hay out of it.”
“But the notion that somebody who is trying to run for the Senate actually has a plan to run for the Senate is not interesting or news to me. It’s not news – and it’s old news at best.”
Of course, this isn't just any memo. It lays out Nunn's campaign strategy, as of December at least, in clinical terms – certainly not the type of details you'd expect to see in the heat of a campaign. Those details were deemed noteworthy enough to be picked up by most major media outlets, from the insiders at Politico to the folks at The Washington Post and The New York Times.
That said, we agreed to hear the callers out on their argument. One veteran Democratic operative, who would speak only on background, likened it to a business plan that’s akin to “watching sausage being made.”
And Steve Labovitz, the well-connected Democratic attorney mentioned in the memo, told us he’s “shocked that this is even an issue” while praising it as one of the “better campaign documents” he’s seen.
“Getting it out is clearly a snafu, but even in football games, you see a playbook get out,” he said. “It happens. But they’re making a mountain from a molehill. And to me, it shows a well thought-out campaign.”
Organized Surrogate Pushback to Memo Leak was not included in the December document's communications strategy section, but perhaps it's in the update.

The David Perdue campaign, meanwhile, is trying to make fundraising hay from the document with an email to supporters:
Michelle Nunn's own team admits it —> She's "too liberal." She's not "a real Georgian." And they even call her Harry Reid and Barack Obama's "best friend."
We interject here to note that those were among the memo’s predicted attacks from Republicans that Nunn would have to parry. We are unaware of any regular lunches with Barack and Harry. And now the pivot to “send us cash:”
