A few of you flagged that you think it would be better not to do the hit on
Jeb's Florida record for a number of reasons, including that it elevates
him above the pack, it could distract from our positive message, it may
make the speech sound too political, and its better to just concentrate on
his "work harder" flub.  HRC expressed a strong preference for keeping the
Florida hit in, however (not too surprising after our Q&A call with her
this afternoon where she was so focused on oppo research.)  Jake and I
walked her through the various objections and she agreed to think it over
and said we should have a broader discussion about it. She also wants Tony
to make sure we have really bulletproof Florida stats.  Can we take some
time tomorrow to talk this through as a group?

She is thinking about and commenting on the rest of the speech as well, so
I should have a new draft to share with folks tomorrow.

Thanks for all the help on this.

Dan
