Gulf Oil, Bill Randall, Bernie Reeves, BP, and a Quickly Nearing Election...

Reeves' fair criticism.

Polifrog has found the Bernie Reeves, Bill Randall primary disappointing. It may seem pollyannish but Polifrog believes the sort of character attacks Bernie Reeves has engaged in has no place in a primary. Bernie Reeves has not only weakened Bill Randall, but himself while attempting to secure the Republican nomination. This has unfortunately forced Polifrog to attempt to blunt Reeves' more unfair attacks on Bill Randall as Polifrog feels that such attacks ultimately only serve to strengthen Brad Miller.

Bill Randall, in contrast, has run a clean, although more recently, gaffe prone campaign. Currently Bill Randall has been under national fire for comments made in reference to the BP oil spill in which he questioned whether collusion between BP and the government may have caused the spill. Bernie Reeves by way of NBC17 responded to Randall's comments thusly;


"I don't think this conspiracy theory is doing the country any good, it's not doing the cleanup or the investigation of the spill any good. And it's certainly not doing any good for our campaign. And I just don't think it helps Bill," he said.


With a few quibbles in reference to Reeves' needless characterization of Randalls comments as something akin to an accusation as mentioned here, Polifrog feels that Reeves' response to Randall's comments in total has not risen to the level of an accusation and is in the realm of fair criticism.

This has been a misstep only Bill Randall can repair, unfortunately for Randall the runoff election is only days away.
