McCain-Palin used Tech!

<span style="font-size: 11pt">Fire Sale on All McCain-Palin Campaign Equipment</span>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'">Run, don't walk, to John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign headquarters in Arlington, Va., for an amazing Blowout Sale! Computers, blackberries, televisions, desks, you name it - everything must go. Hurry while the offer lasts!

That's right, the failed McCain-Palin campaign is having a fire sale this week on leftover equipment. Everything is on sale at reduced prices. An email sent over the weekend to all campaign staff, which was subsequently forwarded to the Sleuth, reads:

&quot;Starting Monday December 8, 2008 the prices will be slashed to 36% of the original price for furniture, office supplies, blackberries, and many campaign computers. This is a great opportunity to own a piece of history, finish your Christmas shopping, or simply replace your old laptop.&quot;

Don't have any cash on you? No worries. An attached price sheet says, &quot;We accept cash, checks, and credit cards.&quot;

Among the hot deals listed for sale on the price sheet:</span>

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'">- A Dell Latitude D620 laptop for $417.00.
- A Dell Latitude D820 laptop for $570.00.
- Brother multifunction printer for $189.00.
- RIM Blackberry 8700c for $30.00.
- Folding chairs for $3.60 each.
- A 55-cup steel coffee urn for $77.00.
- A power strip for $1.
- Ethernet cables for $1 a pound.</span>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'">There's plenty of other stuff, too, including flatscreen TVs, black microfiber sofa, lamps, end tables and a mission coffee table from Target (at the blue light special rate of $60).

Reached by phone, McCain campaign staffer Andrew Freeman, who sent the fire sale email to other campaign staff, told the Sleuth the yard sale is not limited to campaign employees.

&quot;Come on over and we'll sell you a computer,&quot; he said.

After he told someone hovering in the background at campaign headquarters with whom he was speaking on the phone, he came back on the line and said he couldn't give us any more information. &quot;The sale will be over soon,&quot; he said. (Darn, just as we were about to talk him down to $80 on that HDTV.)

Bad news for fashionistas hoping to buy a keepsake from Sarah Palin's infamous $180,000 extreme makeover paid for by the Republican National Committee: There's none of that for sale at McCain-Palin headquarters.

You'll just have to wait for the RNC fire sale for those historical goodies.</span>

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'">McCain Campaign Sells Blackberries Filled With Confidential Files</span>

<span style="font-style: italic">December 12, 2008 05:08 PM </span>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'">When I found out from Wonkette that the McCain-Palin campaign was holding a firesale of campaign sundries -- including teevees and laptops -- not far from my neighborhood, I briefly thought about driving over to see what deals there were to be had. My wife talked me out of it, telling me that what she wanted for Christmas was a gift &quot;not drenched in the stink of terrible failure.&quot; As it turns out, I should have gone, because the campaign was selling twenty-dollar Blackberries choked with campaign emails and addresses of GOP bigwigs!

A Fox reporter documented the find:</span></a>
