US Senate Candidate Observed taking photos of opponent's car ...

Here's a wild one I heard this morning, which seems to take the already poisonous atmosphere in the US Senate Race to a new level.

A few days ago, the Madville Times blog was attacking US Senate Candidate Jason Ravnsborg as Oh_No_staceys_spying being driven to an event in a vehicle with Minnesota Plates, as you'll note from the screen-shot here on the left.

The pictures were taken at one of the recent Lincoln Day Dinners, at Cedar Shores.

(I'm not sure if it was a rental, belongs to a supporter, or what, but to my knowledge, it's not Ravenborg's personal vehicle.)

The blogpost cited the photos as coming from "One of my sources."

The only problem? At least two people witnessed a very notable person taking several photos of the vehicle. The person who had the itch for vehicle photography? The people witnessing it directly identified him as none other than US Senate Candidate Stace Nelson.

The people who witnessed the photography also noted that photos of the car started showing up on the liberal Democratic blog, where Nelson also happens to be an advertiser, during the Republican dinner itself.

So, a Republican candidate for US Senate (who happens to call himself the 'true' conservative in the race) takes photos which end up being used to try to attack/embarrass a fellow Republican candidate for US Senate on the Liberal Democratic blog where he's an advertiser?

I've reached out to both the Ravnsborg campaign and the Nelson campaign for comment. Stay tuned.
