The Republican primary in House District 24 continues to crackle: Another campaign piece has hit mailboxes, and this time it’s Jim Bunn and Jim Weidner who are the targets. It comes from Ed Glad, who is attempting to draw a distinction between himself and his opponents on land-use stuff. Jim Weidner was just in here talking about it, and will have an official response shortly. So it’s official: All three camps (or their supporters) have taken a swipe at one of the other two, or both. It’s pretty tame stuff, actually. If you’ve seen what’s going on in the Republican primary in Congressional District 5, you know what I’m talking about.
Here we go again …

Funny how when Ed Glad throws A hit piece; It is attempting to draw a distinction, When Bunn or weidner try to draw a distinction it is a “hit piece” or an “attack”. Your right here we go again, more spin from Mr. Bates

Absolutely hilarious. However, it is you who are doing the spinning. I haven’t referred in any of my reporting to any campaign literature produced by or on behalf of Jim Weidner as a “hit piece.” The only people I’m aware of who have used that phrase were Yamhill County Republican Party spokesman Neal Lockhart — in voicemail left with me, referring to a flier sent out by Jim Bunn, playing off that candidate’s earlier reference to what he termed “a hit on me” by Weidner supporters — and Bunn himself.
I did, however, refer to the latest Glad flier on the front page of this morning’s newspaper as a “salvo” that was both “fired” and “launched,” “taking aim” at Weidner and Bunn. I guess there’s no pleasing you.
