Huckleberries hears from a Berry Picker ... that Starr Kelso gave a rundown re: his version of Jim Brannon's Coeur d'Alene City Council election lawsuit against Councilman Mike Kennedy at the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee meeting last night. I'll let my Berry Picker take it from there: "A motion to support the Election Contest court case was introduced.  Got the wimpy GOP all riled up. They were afraid of the perception and how they would be 'brutalized on the blogs.'  Even some prominent ones that are running for state office were afraid of sticking their neck out."

Question: Do you understand the politicians' reluctance to be 'brutalized on the blogs." Is the local blogosphere that intimidating? Or are the politicians that wimpy?
