Me: Hi. My name is Shannon Ogden. I'm calling from WTLV-TV in Jacksonville, FL. Some lawmakers from down here today sent letters requesting the Democratic presidential candidates be released from their no-campaigning-in-Florida pledge. Do you know if there is any movement on that front?
DNC Guy: That's not with us. That's the states.
Me: Right. I know. But do you know of anything that seems to be shifting in that area?
DNC Guy: That's not us. That's the states.
Me: I know. Ok. I had also heard a rumor that Howard Dean might intercede and allow the candidates to come to Florida this weekend.
DNC Guy: (kind of shocked) What? No. I've heard nothing about that. No. That has nothing to do with us.
Me: Well, come on. It all started with your rules. It has something to do with you.
DNC Guy: Well, yes, but...the pledge. It has nothing to do with us.
Me: Listen, I'm not trying to get into an argument over semantics. I'm just trying to figure out if the candidates are coming to Florida.
DNC Guy: (silence)
Me: So, are the candidates coming to Florida? Before the primary on the 29th?
DNC Guy: I don't know their schedules. I don't work for their campaigns.
Me: I know that. But have you heard anything like that?
DNC Guy: No.
Me: Thank you. Good bye.
