Back in the special it was the C.O.A.S.T. crew working with Democrats to try to defeat Jean Schmidt. Now the shoe’s on the other foot. As much as Jean Schmidt shows public distain for Democrats and lawyers, when push comes to shove she turns to Democratic “super-lawyer” Stan Chesley to attack Bob McEwen over his residency.

(ADDED: More on this over @ the Bizzster’s.)

Howard also has a report on last night’s hate fest debate. (Openers also has a little coverage.) Let’s see… they agree on just everything… even on the fact that the other one sucks. I guess the vote comes down to McEwen if you like pork, or Schmidt if you like insulting Democratic Congressmen who actually want to talk about solutions in Iraq.

Also, Jeff Hardin wrote a guest column in the Community Press defending Bob McEwen over the House banking scandal. As a serial overdrafter I feel for the Congressman on this one. (Hey… I can call him anything I want.)
