From B & S. Seems someone directed Dan Bice to do a hit piece or it must be a slow news day.

"Egelhoff the blogger might argue with Egelhoff the candidate

Note to all political bloggers: Be careful what you write, because one day you might decide to run for public office.

Consider the case of Jo Egelhoff, the Republican candidate for an open Assembly seat in Appleton.

Before entering the race, she was a regular blogger on FoxPolitics.net, a political Web site that she runs.

Egelhoff has removed everything from her blog. But nothing on the Web ever truly disappears, and a review of her old posts makes one thing clear:

The candidate is not always in line with the blogger.

As a candidate, Egelhoff talks about making the state's schools the best in the nation. As a blogger, she spoke out in favor of eliminating kindergarten for 4-year-olds, shutting down all two-year colleges and restricting pay raises for teachers." Egelhoff the blogger might argue with Egelhoff the candidate - JSOnline.com

And then this.

Jonathan Becker, a staff lawyer for the accountability board, said he didn’t talk to the candidate about the issue and isn’t sure who did. But Becker said he can understand why she did what she did.

“The application of the law to that situation,” he said, “is unclear.”

I agree with Owen here.

"“Unclear?” She wrote stuff on a blog in a private capacity. She can change or delete them all she wants. They are HER WORDS. What the hell is “unclear” about that? Is the GAB lawyer hinting that the GAB might start trying to regulate blogging? Scary stuff. " Boots and Sabers - The blogging will continue until morale improves...

So will the "Fairness Doctrine" help correct this for blogger's? What about the MSM? How far will Obama, Doyle and their ilk go to suppress free speech?

How pathetic! Wait and see, the left will do anything.

Go Jo Go. People of Appleton's 57th Assembly District, you need to stand for a good candidate and vote for Jo Egelhoff
