The quotes from endorsers appeared under the following bold heading: “Former Elected Officials Support Weir”. <br /><br />The quotes from other observers appeared under the following bold headings: “What Newspaper Columnists Are Writing” and “What Bloggers Are Writing”.

Was I a double-agent or a mole? ;-) <br /><br />I guess the other aspect of it is that, yes, what I wrote is complimentary and on a public blog. But as I alluded to Dwain Lingenfelter mis-representing the support of people he happened to be photographed with in 2009, I've suggested to their campaign some sort of request for permission (or a head's up at the minimum, especially given that I'm a known supporter of another candidate) would've been appreciated. <br /><br />At the same time, I know very well how stretched every campaign is in terms of volunteer time so can overlook this. I've told them I don't really think this is a big deal in the grand scheme of things but did want to do a blog post to tell my side of the story.<br /><br />Cheers!Jason Hhttp://www.headtale.comnoreply@blogger.com
