Look what the Google alert dragged in. This is hardly late breaking news. Its six years old but it sure sheds a light on the kind of campaign Rod Grams waged in his 2000 loss to Mark Dayton. A sample from a Slate article:
“Grams’ campaign has done little to allay suspicions. It issued a flimsy, weaselly denial once the Minneapolis Star-Tribune broke the story. “We didn’t put this together and send it out of the Grams campaign office,” campaign spokesman Kurt Zellers told the newspaper. Cooper, it should be noted, does not work in the Grams campaign office. He is based in Virginia. The next day, the campaign went no comment. Cooper, Gunhus, and Chura haven’t surfaced. Grams has never pledged a full investigation.”
