Campaign quoted anonymous blog by candidate's consultant.A consultant to Travis County district attorney candidate Rosemary Lehmberg attacked her opponent, Mindy Montford, anonymously on a political Web site. The Lehmberg campaign then recirculated the attacks to voters without identifying the consultant.
Mixing his roles as a political consultant and an anonymous blogger has pushed Kelly Fero, a longtime political fixture in Democratic campaigns, into the limelight just days before Tuesday's runoff for the county's felony prosecutor.
Fero anonymously wrote on his Web site, AustinPoliticalReport.com, that Terry Keel, a former GOP lawmaker and now parliamentarian to House Speaker Tom Craddick, is actively supporting Montford. Keel denies it, saying he has stayed neutral.
Terry Keel is still a right wing wacko, no matter what Kelly Fero did or did not do. Let Fero and Keel duke it out, but the fact of the matter is - Lehmberg is not responsible for what Fero might have done.
I still voted for Lehmberg. And Keel is still a stupid Craddick flunky who I believe is more likely to be corrupt than anyone else mentioned in the story. :P
