An interesting anecdote by RonPaulBlog.com contributor Dan McCarthy, regarding an article he wrote in a recent issue of the The American Conservative:
In my TAC piece, I quoted a local paper, the Arlington Connection, speculating that Ellmore lost his first bid for the Republican nomination in ‘06 because he reached out too far beyond the GOP base. His approach this time, portraying himself as a Republican stalwart, suggests he agrees with that analysis, though not everyone does. I caught flack from one Republican activist for citing the Arlington Connection’s interpretation — he said Ellmore didn’t lose in ‘06 because he reached out to non-Republicans (Virginia has an open primary, after all), but because “Mark Ellmore is an a**hole.”
[Empasis added.]
So just to summarize: The Ellmore campaign claims it is just incompetent (as opposed to knowingly lying about their opponent Amit Singh), but that doesn’t jive with the facts.
Meanwhile, outside observers can’t agree if he isn’t sufficiently “Republican” or if he is just a jerk.
I’d suggest not bothering to sort it all out, and instead voting for Amit Singh.
