Sure, while Gillespie (that weaseldick...thank-you that felt good to write that) was "on hiatus"...at least in an official capacity, the big question is how well connected he remained in an "unofficial capacity". Also, I would imagine that "Gannon" was already rolling along by then and Eddie had better fish to fry.
Before we go even deeper, let's take a step back and try to put things in a perspective. We know that there are connections from "Gannon" through the Eberles to Powell and on to Quinn-Gillespie. (Stop me at any point if I miss something)
The address Eberle lists as their GOPUSA/Talon is in northern Virginia...as is the RNC headquarters...Gillespie's digs while on hiatus from Quinn-Gillespie.
Powell fits into this picture very neatly...especially his wife, who, one could draw parallels to Elizabeth Eberle...Bobby's wife...who both appear to be conduits to other organizations and corporations.
The hunt goes in two directions...one is the money, the other is the access. Gillespie and Powell come dead red as people who could make the connections, but I don't think they'd be the ones getting their hands dirty.
Quinn's role is undetermined...as he was the sole partner in charge of Quinn-Gillespie throughout 2004...but was Eberle or "Gannon" using or networking with that company by then...or had they moved along with Gillespie into the RNC...along with other dirty tricksters (from the Lee Atwater/Floyd Brown school) who were already in place and ready to do their dirty tricks.
Just in writing this I can still see myself getting way ahead of things here.
The missing link, IMHO, is finding out more about the corporate/money connections of this firm and anyone associated with the Eberles. These folks sure had plenty on hand...now how did they get it and where did that money originate from.
This is almost as fun as watching CSI...sadly, it's reality!
