At OpenCDA.com, Gookin & Co. have seized on Jim Brannon's challenge in his five-vote loss to Coeur d'Alene Councilman Mike Kennedy to try to undermine County Clerk Dan English. The keyboard commandos of the Web site have questioned the competence of Dan of the County and his office in handling elections on several occasions. In the latest episode, the Gookin has targetted "irregularities" in the handling of the 2006 Eastside Highway District election here. Dan has told Huckleberries on several occasions that he expects to face his toughest challenge yet as a result of the continuing attacks of the Gookin Gang and the quality of his opponent, former Post Falls police chief Cliff Hayes. In the middle of the harassment, Dan of the County, ever an individual of good cheer, took time to ride a four-wheeler in the Rathdrum Days Parade -- and win first place in the Novelty Class.

Question: Do you think the attacks on Dan's competence and character by OpenCDA.com will have enough effect in this fall's election to unseat him?
