Furey called her Campaign Coordinator Katie Bassler aside and told her the problem. Bassler knew what to do: grab Furey's bag; rifle through looking for keys; hop into Furey's car; learn to drive the standard transmission on the way to Furey's house; search the house for the missing papers; and return to the forum.
And she got the papers back in plenty of time for the closing statements.
Bassler's no rookie of solving last-minute snafus: she worked in 2007-8 as Grassroots Outreach Coordinator for the failed presidential bid of now-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Bassler isn't the only Hillary Clinton connection for Furey: a campaign donor of Furey's, Patti Solis Doyle, was Clinton's campaign manager and happens to be married to a cousin of Furey.
After all's said and done, I hope Furey's clutch still works.
