Did I miss something? A press release from the Paulsen campaign? A new ad? How is the Paulsen campaign attacking Madia['s volunteers]? I must be really out of touch. Did I miss something?

Brodkorb posted on this after another blogger (Bill from JofAT) posted on it. I think it was kind of funny that they sent at least one cute (sorry, they didn't send smelly hippie chicks) young woman who wore a short skirted dress to some AL and VFWs. It doesn't constitute a "strategy" which is what these bloggers were fishing for. So picking on her clothing was pointless and just likely to confirm the stereotype that Republicans are prudes. The VFW and AL guys look like they don't mind. OTOH, I don't really feel all that sorry for her since, as young as she might be, she should have known better than to post photos on flicker with captions indicating that she thought that the whole gig (and the people) were beneath her. Regardless of how you feel about doing political scutwork, you don't commit that to print, least of all on the internet. Even high school students know they can be busted by the internet now.
