PERLMUTTER CNN QUOTE MIMICS WASHINGTON POST
CNN SOURCE’S QUOTE MIRRORS POST STORY EARLIER THIS WEEK

Exclusive – Eric Perlmutter, the source used in the CNN story “Young conservatives worry about McCain’s appeal,” sounds strikingly similar to David All, a young GOPer quoted in the Washington Post earlier this week.

The Washington Post wrote on Tuesday:

David All points to a page on McCain’s Web site as more old-fogy branding: The candidate is extolling his regulatory policies as friendly to small business, and the accompanying photo shows an old-time Main Street barbershop in the background. The young Republican techie, who raises money online for McCain, would have used the image of a young high-tech entrepreneur instead, someone to whom teenagers could relate. Seventy percent of high school students say they want to be entrepreneurs, according to a recent Gallup poll.

“But,” says All, “they’re not talking about opening a barbershop.”

Perlmutter is quoted by CNN today saying:

“Well, when you see the Main Street barber shop image, you think of 1950’s America. An entrepreneur as Silicon Valley guy will definitely make it more attractive.”
