Ryan v. Margolin, Friday Edition, Ctd.

A politically minded FrontBurnervian comments on the Ryan-Margolin legal flap:

I understand that suing someone during an election is a little out of the ordinary (at least from what I’ve seen), but it is a really great way for someone like Ryan to get their side of the story out quickly and cheaply, all the while painting the opponent in an unflattering light. Now, the obvious downside is that this can easily backfire and make Ryan look like the kid on the playground who gets knocked off the monkey bars and goes and cries to the teacher. From the comments that I’ve read … there has been more defection from the Margolin camp than the Ryan camp. So, it may be working for him.

Interesting points.
