Most low-down ever ? I've seen a lot worse. I'll make it clear that I made no endorsement in this primary race, and I challenge the Ward people to locate any posts of mine where I did. Frankly, this whole race and the motivations of some of the supporters is bizarre to me, not to mention the claims of either side (one reason I didn't feel comfortable making an endorsement). I saw good things about Ward early on, and presumed him to be the likely nominee (this was about the time of the Palin endorsement). However, over time, I started to see claims that Ward was a "Establishment" choice, a McCainiac, and that he was no reliable Conservative. All of a sudden, it was this fella named Labrador who was the preference of base Conservatives/Tea Partiers and Ward was "bad news." It was reaching the point for me personally that I didn't know which was which. I could only judge some of the "alleged" mishaps of Ward, the PR comment, that "it sounds like he repackaged Zero's speech" speech and the like. It looked like Ward was not ready for prime time. But still, I gave no endorsement.

Some of the comments I've seen read like conspiracy theory stuff, way too over the top. Meadsjn, for example, has been all over the place. First he runs down Bill Sali, who was one of the best ID members in years, and frankly, the only people who viscerally opposed Sali WERE RINO liberal establishment types. If he's going around complaining that Ward was sabotaged by liberal interests, why is he using their same stance against Sali, who was screwed by the RINO establishment. It ends up making Ward look like he WAS supported by the RINO establishment. The whole thing is a confusing mess. All I know is that I want to see Minnick defeated in November. Time to put aside the divisive crap and conspiracy theories. If Labrador turns out to be an establishment hack himself, voting the wrong way on issues such as illegals, we toss his butt out in the 2012 primary. It's that simple. Because the alternative is allowing Minnick to settle down into a long career while he gets away with sounding like the Democrat version of Helen Chenoweth when in reality he votes more like Frank Church.

I pinged you for the purpose of an FYI so you would see that Lucas Baumbach is bragging about his dirty deed.

I suspected sabotage or utter stupidity on the night of the election.

Too bad the voters were deceived.
