I very briefly heard something

[polmaven]

on the radio this morning, just as I was pulling into the parking lot at work, so I wasn't able to hear the full story.

I think the report said that there were some Obama campaign buttons made in Iowa (I think it was Iowa) picturing Obama with "the wrong Larry". It said that the buttons show him with...wait for it...LARRY CRAIG...instead of with Larry ????.

Anyone else hear it? Got details?

If it's true, I have a hard time believing it was a "mistake"....."Oh, look....that Obama fellow is being endorsed by the pervert.....can't do that, now, can we?" I would put NOTHING past these people.

3. Here's the story.

Idaho campaign button features the wrong Larry
(Seattle Times, July 28, 2008)

Some Democratic campaign buttons made for distribution in Idaho show an unlikely pair: Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and Republican Sen. Larry Craig. But don't expect the staunch Republican to throw his support behind Obama or for the presidential candidate to ask Craig to change his mind and run for Senate again. Apparently the button manufacturer picked a picture of the wrong Idaho Larry. The 3-inch button by Tigereye Design was intended to show Obama beside Larry LaRocco, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate. Craig is not seeking re-election after his arrest in a Minnesota airport restroom sex sting.

5. Idaho!!

Well, my local radio station had the first letter of the state right, anyway. I was having trouble figuring out why it would be done in Iowa, except for, as I mentioned, the whole "endorsed by a 'pervert' Republican" thing.

Thanks!
