Dueling candidates

Posted at 5:03 PM on April 7, 2006 by Bob Collins

Tom Scheck has just posted a story on Jim Knoblach vs. Phil Krinkie, special Legislature edition.

There's always a bit of politics in every policy debate at the Legislature. Lawmakers often try to force their colleagues to take a bad vote, while working to make themselves look good with their constituents. Republican Reps. Phil Krinkie and Jim Knoblach are using that tactic more aggressively at the Capitol, because they're running against each other for the same Congressional seat in the 6th District. Some political observers say they're trying to "out-conservatize" each other.
