GOP candidate's Web site used doctored Dean photo

TRENTON, N.J. -- For a week, Bret Schundler's campaign Web site showed the fiery Republican primary candidate in a suit with a crowd of cheering supporters behind him.

The problem? They actually were rallying behind fiery Democratic candidate Howard Dean.

Schundler's image was used to digitally replace that of a smiling Dean in the picture, and the former Jersey City mayor's name was superimposed over both a "Howard Dean for America" sign and a Dean cap worn by one of his supporters at a Great Falls, Va., rally last year.

One of the Dean supporters, Laura Reznick, 21, of Voorhees, N.J., said she remembers zipping through a dense crowd so she could get in a photo with Dean, The Record of Bergen County reported in Friday's newspapers. Reznick is secretary of American University's College Democrats.

There's a thread over in GD, but I thought that this article deserved wider reading.

5. Exposed by "a politics web site?"
Hmmm...whom might that be??

The photo was pulled from the site Wednesday after a politics Web site notified the campaign it was doing a story about the mishap.
