That much we have known for some time now. An article in the New Yorker today reveals much more about the content of that fateful meeting (and adds some great detail about Biden’s role on the campaign trail and inside the potential Obama WhiteHouse).

That’s Sarah Janecek’s description of Jeff Larson, founder of FLS-DCI and key figure in Norm Coleman’s inner circle. Larson is probably one of the main reasons why Norm Coleman refuses to return $10,000 in contributions from DCI sources despite the fact that John McCain has removed two senior campaign officials due to their ties to DCI.
