I will always remember Jim Rutenberg for actually believing that Ramirez left his phone off the hook by accident, giving Rutenberg the "exclusive" on how Ferrer's nomination was so inevitable that the campaign wasn't even paying attention to the primary. The next time someone convenes a "high-level" meeting of campaign strategists immediately after having some difficulty in disconnecting from Jim's voicemail, he might not want to be such a dupe. Rove should have some fun with this ace reporter.
