Post Politics: 16 April 2008

Marsha Blackburn’s Republican challenger, Tom Leatherwood, received a gift yesterday in the form of news that incumbent Blackburn will “voluntarily” revise downward her campaign finance statement due to mistakes made back in 2002, when she switched from running for re-election to the state Senate to running for Congress.

Among the unreported expenditures were $18,821 to her daughter and son-in-law Paul and Mary Morgan Ketchel and $3,753 to either her husband Chuck, her son Chad or herself. Blogger Sharon Cobb revels in the news and Mike Byrd calls for the reporting of the bigger picture.

On the same day this news is released, Politico profiles Blackburn discussing her preference for the term “congressman” despite her obvious femininity.
