Today, both Betsy Russell of the Spokesman-Review and Dan Popkey of the Idaho Statesman wrote about the IACI campaign to oust incumbent Sen. Tim Corder by helping local winggy Clayton Cramer with some mailings.
This is, mind you, a story that Alan from IdaBlue broke last week.
Says Betsy:
IACI sent out four mailings on behalf of Sen. Tim Corder’s challenger, Clayton Cramer, who moved to Horseshoe Bend from California in 2001 and was running on an anti-gay rights platform. The only one of the mailings I’ve seen, pictured here, is highly misleading. Showing a picture of what appears to be a soldier and his loving wife, it attacks Corder – a Vietnam veteran – on veterans issues and promotes Cramer as the answer. However, Cramer isn’t a soldier. And it’s not clear who is pictured in the mailing, which went to the district that includes Mountain Home Air Force Base. Class act, huh?
Thanks, Chris. So far the trad med isn’t so good at crediting bloggers. It wouldn’t surprise me to see them pick up your story about Skaug, but don’t expect them to credit you for it.
Alan (and Chris), I’m sorry that I missed this last week. Trying to make up for it with a link at RSR today.
