Tom Reilly is disavowing the actions of staff members who tried to plug-in to the Killer Coke campaign. At the same time he says that he believes that the Killer Coke campaign is valid.

This is a great tactical battle. The Patrick campaign, with a little help from Reilly's staff, managed to make negative coverage of Patrick's past all about Reilly. Reilly is now trying to defend himself while trying to point the issue back at Patrick. It's a weak countermove but when the king is in check there are only so many options on the board.

UPDATE: It wasn't a Christy Mihos DOS attack but BMG did have some technical problems last night that prevented me from seeing that they took the plunge and endorsed a candidate. Guess which one?
