“Both Candidates”

While I was in Denmark the Duluth News Tribune ran a story about the Eighth District Congressional Race in which their reporter wrote “both candidates.”

I’ve never heard the word both used to refer to three people and, of course, there are three candidate in this race. Mel and Chris sent the Trib a reminder but today’s latest brouhaha on whether Jim Oberstar misses too many Congressional Committee meetings or floor votes is a two man dog an pony show once again.

This campaign needs a lot more welty4congress to get past the BS.
