Who Said It - Jehl or Fox?

It amazing when you change the names on some issue how it can mean something different to the reader. Let us say this was the response Kelty campaign made regarding the political ad on the local Christian station.

Glenna Jehl, campaign manager for Kelty, said he didn’t know anything about the endorsements until learning about them from the local media.

"Any group has a right to endorse candidates based on whatever criteria they are using," she said.

Jehl agreed she didn’t know what criteria the group used, and she said she has never spoken to AFA. She also said she wasn’t aware of any conversations Kelty had with AFA, although AFA said they spoke with Kelty several times.


Now suppose this was Henry's campaign making comments regarding the endorsement by a number of local bar owners.

Joe Fox, campaign manager for Henry, said he didn’t know anything about the endorsements until learning about them from the local media.

"Any group has a right to endorse candidates based on whatever criteria they are using," he said.

Fox agreed he didn’t know what criteria the group used, and he said he has never spoken to Vaughn. He also said he wasn’t aware of any conversations Henry had with Vaughn, although Vaughn said he spoke with Henry several times.

The first one is wrong! It just replaced the names of Henry, Fox, and Vaughn with Kelty, Jehl, and AFA. The second deals with the smoking ban in truth. Both groups offer endorsements on different issues. It just depends on which side of a given issue you may be on. Read what Fox said about endorsements.

Frankly, I find the radio spot a little too much for me, but like the people they talk about, they do have a right to have their say.
