The campaign ads for a number of candidates in the primaries reached extreme depths of dirt in the last few days. Orza and Henry, candidates for the Democratic nomination for Governor, both engaged in last minute mud slinging. Walters and Boettcher, Democratic candidates for US Senate also slung a lot of mud. But the worst so far was a computerized telephone call from an unidentified male making accusations against a candidate named Cloud. The message on my voice mail said claimed that Cloud had been evicted from Little League games a couple of times in recent years. The caller concluded that Cloud would not be a good statesman because he can't control his temper. If this accusation is true it might be something worth discussing but to make such accusations the day before an election is reprehensible. Who did it?
