I’ve put the original post here below the fold. It needs to now be substantially updated and is worth rewriting.
This morning, to great fanfare in Florida, an anonymous website called truthaboutrubio.com went live.
The website was registered one day ago on October 27, 2009, but it purported to have content all the way back to 2007.
RedState probed the source code of the website and found this:
img src=”///Users/rheffley/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/moz-screenshot.png” alt=”" /
Who is rheffley? How about Rich Heffley.
Mr. Heffley played a key role in getting Charlie Crist elected Governor in 2006. More importantly, Mr. Heffley is now Charlie Crist’s top advisor in his Florida Senate race. Mr. Heffley’s business address is 420 E Jefferson St, Tallahassee, FL, which is the address of the Florida Republican Party. Mr. Heffley rents office space from the Florida GOP and the Florida GOP pays him $10,000.00 a month. His business partners are Jim Rhimes and Randy Enwright. If Enwright’s name sounds familiar, it should. He’s been heavily involved in the GOP and is the Republican National Committee’s field consultant.
I tried to call Mr. Heffley for comment and he would not call me back. A St. Petersburg Times reporter did get Mr. Heffley to answer. Mr. Heffley refused to answer questions about the website and within minutes of that phone call the website was taken down.
About an hour later, the website came back up and the source code identifying Mr. Heffley had disappeared.
Not also that Charlie Crist denied any involvement with this website, but knew enough to know that the one day old website contained press clippings “all in the public domain.”
That is an admission against interests that Charlie Crist’s campaign is responsible for this website. That also creates a potentially serious breach of federal law for Charlie Crist.
Because this website was produced by Charlie Crist’s chief campaign consultant to benefit Charlie Crist, it requires a disclaimer that the site is paid for and authorized by Charlie Crist for Senate. The site does not contain that. In the alternative, considering Mr. Heffley shares office space with the Florida Republican Party, there could be a coordination violation too. How exactly does Mr. Heffley get access to the internet from his office? Is it paid for by the Florida GOP? That causes even more questions revolving around federal elections laws.
Likewise, the website shows a total lack of respect for copyright laws — taking copyrighted content and republishing it wholesale and more likely than not without permission. As mentioned above, Crist, who has surprising knowledge of a one day old website, said all the press clips were “all in the public domain,” which is nonsense as applicable to copyright law.
More significantly, this smacks of desperation. Crist has abandoned any pretense of being the conservative in the race and is instead having to use frivolous stories to claim Rubio is not conservative either. To get a feel for just how frivolous the stories are, consider this one (I can’t link to individual posts there because the site at this time does not allow it). The site highlights that Rubio has received around $3000.00 from gambling related interests, but Rubio opposes gambling. Rubio has not altered his position at all. But he has taken the money. Somehow this makes Rubio a hypocrite for not altering his positions after receiving money from groups with a different position. That is one of many silly stories.
Charlie Crist this evening is denying any connection to this. But it does not matter. The site was produced by his campaign consultant from his office in an effort to hurt Crist’s opponent and thereby help Crist. This could potentially cause Crist all sorts of legal trouble with federal law.

ORIGINAL POST:
Rich Heffley is a Charlie Crist appointee to the Florida Sports Foundation.
Heffley is a lobbyist and Republican operative who played a big behind-the-scenes role in Crist’s 2006 campaign and just recently helped secure victory for Amendment 1 and John McCain.
A RedState reader prowled through the source code for the anti-Rubio website and found an interesting file that comes up. Here’s the source code:
Heffley has also maxed out to Charlie Crist’s Senate campaign.
I put in a call to Mr. Heffley, but have not heard back from him.
UPDATED: The Crist campaign has now taken down the anti-Rubio site.
UPDATED 2: The Anti-Rubio Site is now live again, but the code clearly identifying Rich Heffley has been stripped from the site.
Hehehe

Great detective work Gator....
rcov092 Wednesday, October 28th at 5:51PM EDT (link)I predict that this will be the death of Charlie Crist unless the Crist aboves very quickly to run over Hefly and take Charlie away. This si one of the lamest attempts to change the direction of a campaign I think I have ever seen. All of the content over ther pretty much tries to make the case that Rubio is the Spawn of Bernie Madoff and Ted Bundy.
Unforuntately for Crist, the sources cited are all left wing blogs, DEm leaning sites of newspapers like the Miami Herald (a spawn of Pravda and so much toast it will probabaly shrivel up and die unless teh Won comes through with teh Newspaper bailout soon) and the Western Branch of Hugo Chavez’s state media AKA the St. Petersburg Times.
Now that the source is revealed in the HTML file, Charlie will be boxed in and have to respond very quickly or risk the polls in this race flipping over.
At a GOP meeting last night I had a conversation with a couple of my fellow Committee members who alluded to Charlie now understanding he must fight and to not sell him short. I went over tho his campaign site and it has all the hallmarks of a campaing that was never organized to start. It was thrown together to rally the committed old line interests to try to very quickly shut down a competent challenger. It also has the smell of death about it.

I asked many questions (such as, how does one write a post on a site on July 25th of 2007 that wasn’t even created until October of 2009)… to which I am waiting for a response…. (however, not holding my breath)…

“I find it in completely distasteful and utterly wrong that someone would create a video which attempts to compare the Governor of the State of Florida to Adolf Hitler, a man who committed persecution and genocide against millions of people, for political purposes. This blatantly insensitive video has no place in the U.S. Senate Campaign and its creators, whoever they are or whoever they are affiliated with, should be ashamed, ” said Dr. Jeffrey Feingold. “This video is not only offensive to members of the Jewish community, it is offensive to all Americans, and I, on behalf of all Florida Republicans, condemn this video and demand a full investigation to find out who is behind this disgraceful political attack video.”

“Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.” –American author Mark Twain (1835-1910)
“We should never despair, our Situation before has been unpromising and has changed for the better, so I trust, it will again. If new difficulties arise, we must only put forth new Exertions and proportion our Efforts to the exigency of the times.” –George Washington, letter to Philip Schuyler, 1777

Stephen Halsey Wednesday, October 28th at 9:39PM EDT (link)….to send Marco some more cash. I need another bumper sticker for the car.
People here in Richmond have wondered what in the world I’m doing supporting a candidate 800 miles away. All I have to say is neither Webb nor Warner support my interests so I have to find candidates elsewhere that do whether it’s down in Florida or up in Alaska. So I suggested some homework to those in question and I talked about the GOP wanting to be all big tent and all and then they support a RINO like Crist when they could support someone like Marco. Those in question always come back after their assignment and understand where all of us here are coming from. Too bad the party leadership is too tone deaf to get it.
Hit hard. Hit fast. Hit often.

Good detective work
seandparnell Thursday, October 29th at 9:16AM EDT (link)One thing, though. The fact that Heffley rents office space at the state GOP headquarters doesn’t really imply anything about coordination. I had the same setup when I ran a Congressional campaign back in ‘00, we rented office space from the state party which included phone and internet lines, etc.
The lack of a disclaimer on the site though - that’s a pretty big deal.

eburkedisciple Thursday, October 29th at 3:01PM EDT (link)Rubio is our man. A man of principle and a man for our time. Charlie Christ may be able to form a PAC with Scazzafava and lobby for the Republican Party to become Democrat socialists but he doesn’t have a job in this party and there are going to be more thrown out!
