Manlove’s statement cuts the baby in half. She seems to want everyone to love her. It is a little sad really. Nobody wants half a baby. Especially the bottom half.
Lavelle is found to be technically not guilty… but (pssst…[sotto voce] continue reading… really he is guilty.)
“I reluctantly conclude his use of electioneering communication to support his own campaign does not step over the line and is technically permitted,” she wrote. “In my view, however, though legal, the practice is not consistent with the spirit of the law … .”
Senator Lavelle attempts, through the action of the PAC her controls, to finely parse the legal difference between “issue” advocacy” and express advocacy”
The practice is not consistent with the spirit of the law intended to promote transparency, fairness and clarity for voters and the election process.
Lavelle, not content with the bottom half of the baby, had a hissy fit.
“This proves Elaine Manlove is a partisan,” he said. “She did exactly as her masters directed.”
So Manlove is useless. It falls to voters to hold Lavelle to account.
