Schmidt Press Release Backfires
Much respect to national bloggers Kos and Annatopia, as well as MANY other liberal bloggers for picking up and fully developing the story I broke last night about Jean Schmidt's failed last minute smear attempt.
According to a comment on Atrios, "Kirk's office has asked the Schmidt campaign to correct their press release." Yet, at the time of this posting, the original press release is still available for download on Schmidt's campaign site.
It is important that bloggers pick up where the mainstream media leaves off when it comes to keeping unscrupulous politicians in check.
Regardless of the outcome of the special election in the 2nd district today, the coverage of this campaign marks a change in the way politics are conducted in this country. I am proud to have been a part of it.
Speaking of the outcome, results will be showing up here as they become available.
Keep checking back at Cincinnati News for the latest information on this exciting race.

Good points--nice work on catching the press release from the Schmidt campaign so early on. Who knows what the final tally would have been in the race if this went unnoticed! It reinforces my belief that people truly can make a difference AND keep our ELECTED officials accountable (even though Bush backdoored his appointment to the UN during the congressional recess...let's not allow him to do the saem with Roberts on the Supreme Court.)

I really hope Democratic Senators would not stand for that.
