More on the Push Polls

The Jim Kitchens campaign has a piece on their blog about the push polls (see Push Polls in MS judicial races from earlier this morning). Kitchens is running against current Supreme Court justice Jim Smith.

The blog also mentions that Smith's campaign may be involved with a coordinated campaign, which is against the law. (Editor's note- the Morgan Baldwin quote is from the Clarion-Ledger article. It's cited in the original post.)

Smith supporters waste no time with dirty tricks:

Of course, all Smith’s campaign wanted to talk about was trial lawyers.

>In addition to those supporting businesses, “you’ve got trial lawyers coming in here from all over the country,” [Smith campaign spokesman Morgan] Baldwin said. “Both sides are throwing money at independent expenditures.”

Funny. I don’t know of a single group who has done anything on our behalf in this race.

Even funnier is the idea that the Smith campaign knows nothing about these push polls. I call bull$#!% on that one.

And in a couple of days, I bet some fairly strong evidence showing Smith’s campaign is involved in a coordinated campaign will emerge.
