Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakawakia e tētahi kaituku tōrangapū te kaitohutohu o te kaupapa perehitini a David Axelrod mō te kerēme a Axelrod, nāna te rautaki whakaeke i ora ai te koromatua o Philadelphia i te tau 2003. Ko te kaitohutohu pakanga o Philadelphia a Frank Keel i kii ko tana whakaaro ki te whakapae i nga Reipa mo te taputapu whakarongo a te FBI i kitea i te tari o te Kawana Democrat a John Street. E whakaaro ana a Keel ko te whakatau ki te whakaeke i te tari Republican a te Perehitini o George W. Bush i taua wa he 'waitohu' o tana mahi, e ai ki tana whakawa. 'Ko tana whakahaere i te raru me te angitu o te raru i whakarewahia a Keel ki te anga whakamua o tana umanga,' e kii ana te whakairinga ture, i tukuna i te timatanga o tenei wiki, i korerohia tuatahihia e The Philadelphia Inquirer. I roto i tana pukapuka 'Believer: My Forty Years in Politics,' ka riro i a Axelrod te mana mo te mahere ki te whakapae i te Tari Ture a te Perehitini George W. Bush mo te ngana ki te whakangao i te tono mo te kowhiringa ano a Street. Ko David Axelrod, te kaitohutohu matua o te pakanga a Obama i te tau 2012, kei te whakawakia i runga i te iti rawa i nga waahanga e rua mo nga kereme i tukuna e ia i roto i tana tuhinga hou mo te kaupapa. Ko wai te whakaaro? I wikitoria a Philadelphia Mayor John Street (matau) i te pōtitanga anō i te tau 2003 i muri i te whakatakoto a ōna kaiawhina pakanga i tētahi mahere ki te whakapae i ngā Reipa mō te pūrere whakarongo i whakatakotoria e te FBI ki tōna tari. I whakatūria e te FBI te tari o Street hei wāhanga o tētahi 'utu-ki-te-tākaro' rangahau i ahu ki ngā whakapae a tētahi kaitiaki moni o te taone, tētahi kaiwhiwhi pūtea nui o Street me ētahi atu 10. Kāore anō te tumuaki i whakawakia, i whakakahoretia rānei he hara. I noho puku a Street i te tīmatanga e pā ana ki te pūrere i kitea i roto i tana tari o te Whare Kaunihera, engari i haere ia ki te whakaeke i te wā i kī ai te kaupapa ko te hunga Reipa i mahi. He wiki i muri mai, ka wikitoria anō ia i te pōtitanga. I roto i tētahi tauākī, i kī a Axelrod, kāore tana pukapuka i te whakakore i te tūponotanga i tae mai ai ētahi atu kaitohutohu ki taua whakatau kotahi, i haere rānei i runga i ngā ara ōrite". Engari ko te kerēme e kī ana kāore i taea te whakapā atu ki a Axelrod i te rā i puta mai ai a Keel ki te rautaki, ā, i muri mai ka whakahe. I tukuna e Shawn Fordham, te kaiwhakahaere o te pakanga a Mayor Street i te tau 2003, he korero ki te whakawa e kii ana ko Axelrod...
I whakawhiwhia e Axelrod i roto i tana tuhinga mo te mahere e whakapae ana i nga tinihanga paru o te GOP mo te taputapu whakarongo i whakatakotoria e te FBI ki te tari o te koromatua o Philadelphia hei waahanga o te tirotirohanga hara. Engari e kī ana tētahi atu kaituku Manapori ko tana whakaaro katoa <unk> a i whakaaro a Axelrod he whakaaro kino. Koinei te wā tuarua e kiia ana he tinihanga te pukapuka a te hoa o Obama. I kii tetahi kaiawhina a Mitt Romney i te marama kua hipa kua teka a Axelrod i tana tuhi i te kii a te kaitono Republican i te po po po pooti 2012 i wikitoria a Obama na te mea i whaaia e ia nga kaipōti pango. He roa te mahi a Axelrod i roto i te tōrangapū Pākehā, ā, i whakawhiwhia ki a ia he kirimana tohutohu e ono-mati ki te Pāti Kaimahi o Ingarangi i te wā o ngā pōtitanga o tēnei tau.
