In Sid Salter's column today, he makes the point that Phil Bryant pulled more votes than Barbour in the election last week (not mentioning that Jim Hood apparently pulled the most in the state). But then he made the following statement rather off the cuff:
Nor was it any secret that some of Barbour's kin folks were actively working as paid staffers against Bryant in the GOP lieutenant governor primary against challenger Sen. Charlie Ross of Brandon. For good or ill, many Bryant supporters weren't buying into the notion that the governor was "staying out" of the Bryant-Ross showdown either.
Here's the question: Did Salter, a huge Barbour apologist, talk about who Barbour's relatives were working for, and against, during the campaign? And why not share which relatives here?

I have to say I wondered about that. I don't always agree with your take on Sid's "articles," but that bugged the crap out of me. Name the relatives DURING THE PRIMARY season -- you know, when it mattered most!!
