Oh snap! Dudes got all heated on the campaign trail Tuesday (and by “on the campaign trail” I mean “in my email inbox”).
The attack press releases from politicians just kept coming yesterday and, busy putting out today’s paper, we here at Off Message headquarters just couldn’t keep up! Don’t worry, though. We outsourced our coverage to other media outlets.
Here’s a recap, in case you missed it:
Lindley v. Shumlin, re: Sorrell: Okay, so this actually started Monday. In a letter he sent to Gov. Peter Shumlin, Vermont GOP chairman Jack Lindley was all like: Hey dude, why don’t you appoint an independent counsel to investigate illegal super PAC coordination between Attorney General Bill Sorrell and former governor Howard Dean? But on Tuesday, Shumlin’s legal counsel, Sarah London, wrote Lindley back saying: Um, nah, dude. Go talk to Sorrell. Or that TJ Donovan guy. In response to which Lindley sent out another press release Tuesday afternoon calling Shumlin’s decision, “an abdication of his duty to protect the rights and interests of Vermonters,” allowing Sorrell “to conduct his campaign with impunity and in defiance of the law.”
