BS: Running for Senate?

No, not that BS, at least not yet.

But alert reader Sisyphus found something very curious on Idablue, in the comments for this post. The fifth comment - signed bs - appears to be an announcement from someone who'd like to enter the GOP fray for next year's Senate race, someone who didn't so so well in a first attempt for public office.

The post on which the comment is found is frankly sort of rude. It seems like an unlikely spot for a politico to seek support. But, well, just check it out and let me know what you think.

P.S. In semi-related news, Democratic candidate Larry LaRocco made his debut this afternoon at the Huffington Post.

Oh God, forgot about the other BS! Too much BS for one state if you ask me...

Idablue's host has posted the tech data on that comment. It looks like a spoof.

If it is a real announcement, it's not a very good one. There's no mention of a campaign on her web site, nor is there any trace of her over at the FEC (although that's not a big deal assuming she hasn't raised $5K, which I imagine is a safe sort of assumption). If it were me I'd hit every media outlet I could find, change my web site and not hide behind initials.

Oh yeah, I wouldn't omit my campaign contribution address anywhere, either, which btw is Startin for Idaho, 282 Dubois Avenue, Twin Falls, ID 83301-4611. (Yes, I'm still looking at governor in 2010 and no, I'm _NOT_ running for Senate).

So, like the original Bill Sali Fan blog, it's either seriously bogus or seriously dumb.
