Very interesting

Just goes to show how much I know. I had no idea that Rex Griswold's campaign manager is one of the bloggers over at Sonoran Alliance. On one hand, I have to give the blog credit, they didn't do a whole lot regarding the race, although he could have been writing about it all the time. On the other hand, I go back to this Mesa Elections Round-Up post and it comes together in a whole new light.

The talk of the town and in the comments sections of several articles has been allegations that people from Griswold's campaign were using the fact that Smith was mormon to drive turn out from evangelical supporters. Back when the article was written, the issue hadn't really bubbled to the surface and the posting looked more like an intellectual exercise than a campaign post. However, now understanding who it was written by, there seems to add a lot of credence to these claims.

I give the guy credit for fairly analyzing the race after the fact, but you have to wonder what they were doing during the campaign.

I don't have a shadow of a doubt what they were doing during the campaign. Well, it goes to show you- when you go negative at the end of a campaign and get it handed to you 60-40 on election day, that would be considered a failed strategy.
