Dirty Tricks in SD 17

The race for the Senate seat in District 17 has been one marked by questionable Republican tactics from the get-go, with rumors of a candidate encouraged to run as a Democrat to split the vote and try to weaken Democratic candidate Chris Bell's overwhelming support in the area. It seems that they've recently chosen to cross the line, however, from questionable into downright dirty, with a push poll being circulated that mischaracterizes Bell's stance on a number of issues. Jason Stanford has the details on Chris Bell's campaign blog.
