Klein v. Katz getting nasty

The Times provides some details on the brewing battle over the GOP primary election for State Rep seat currently held by the Democrats:

An anonymous letter sent to a Republican precinct committeeman slamming the campaign of Fran Katz, one of two Republican candidates for House District 19, may harm the party and brings up old memories, GOP officials said Wednesday.

Ok, here's what I know:

• During 2009 Luke Abbott was going to run, and decided a couple months ago to drop out
• The GOP's HRCC which is managed by Mike Gentry decided to reach out to former mayor of Crown Point Dan Klein
• The Lake County Chair Kim Krull was not contacted for input on this decision to recruit Dan Klein.
  
• Another candidate Fran Katz decided to jump in the race against Dan Klein
• So there's a primary, and voters can decide whom they want to have run against Vanderburgh (the Dem incumbent) in the fall.
  

Anonymous letter writing doesn't help either candidate. If you live in this district do some research and make your own mind up. If you don't know which district you live in, then it's time to get educated and find out. I've said many times before, name recognition voting is for naive voters.
