As noted on MSNBC’s Hardball this evening, thanks for the nod:
And Huffington Post reports:
The original mailer was first circulated two years ago, when populist fervor fueled a Republican takeover of the U.S. House of Representatives. Sias was then challenging Aurora City Councilman Ryan Frazier in a GOP primary to replace Rep. Ed Perlmutter (D-Colo.).
Sias, a former staffer for Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) presidential campaign, is running against Sen. Evie Hudak (D) in Colorado Senate District 19, competing for a more moderate constituency that’s “almost evenly split between Republicans, Democrats and unaffiliated voters,” according to Fox31.
National liberal blog Think Progress also picked up the story.
Lang Sias’ edited “Tea Party endorsement” photo has spread a bit wider than we would have anticipated, being a fairly simple if amusing story about a state Senate race. That seems to be because the removal of this endorsement from these images is seen as symbolic of the GOP’s troubles managing what was a key electoral asset only two years ago–but now has become a serious liability as the fashionableness of the Tea Party ebbs.
As Mr. Sias can now attest, trying to hide your unsightly past only makes it worse.
