Self-Inflicted Blows Wound Candidates
May 07, 2008
Author: CFM Staff
Some Oregon candidates are making a rough landing as they approach the May 20 primary election, with threats of legal action, a major mea culpa, failure to turn in statements for the Voters' Pamphlet and attacks by fellow party members.
Or as one lobbyist put it, "Some of the most devastating negative campaign attacks in this election have been self-administered."
House District 52 GOP candidate Matt Lindland has threatened to file a defamation suit against the campaign manager of his primary opponent, Phyllis Thiemann. Lindland says Elaine Franklin, a veteran political operative, has accused him of being a felon. Franklin denies his allegation.
However, the Willamette Week turned up two Republican-leaning lobbyists who verified the charge. Gayle Atteberry, director of Oregon Right to Life, and J.L. Wilson, lobbyist for Associated Oregon Industries, told the newspaper Franklin called Lindland a felon when talking to them. Wilson, who said he was involved in recruiting Thiemann to run for Smith's seat, sent her campaign an email indicating he was "really appalled" at Franklin's claim.
Lindland says if Franklin issues a written retraction that is posted on Thiemann's campaign Web site, he won't sue. Willamette Week punctuated the tiff by naming Franklin as its Rogue of the Week. "As an experienced political operative," the newspaper said, "Franklin should know better than shoveling dirt that can easily be disproven."
