Tidbits from the 5th

A couple of semi-newsy notes from the 5th District Congressional race.

I'm always interested in new ideas about campaigning and it looks like Tammy Lee has come up with one. According to a letter being mailed out over the signature of Tim Penny, she's set up a conference call with her (and apparently Penny acting as host). I don't know if these are targeted invites so I'm not posting the phone number, other than to notes that it's next Monday (1 p.m. and 2 p.m. CT) and Tuesday (10 am. and 11 a.m. CT).

Jesse Jackson to campaign for Keith Ellison. That's all I know about it. Tom Scheck told me there's something about it on the Ellison Web site

but I can't find it.

(Updated 1:54) With Tom as my guide dog, I found it on the June 30th listing.
