Anatomy of a smear

The ADG has an editorial this morning defending Mike Ross (D-AR)  against the attacks on the sale of his Prescott pharmacy. The title is "Anatomy of a smear." The paper has previously run a story by Jane Fullerton this past Wednesday, September 23. She quoted Scott Pace of the Arkansas Pharmacists Association and Robert Jackson of Mercer University in Atlanta, both of whom view the price Ross received as within the normal range.

As I have followed Ross over the summer, he at first seemed willing to vote for the public option, which would have made his critics happy. But the town hall meetings he stumbled into, especially the first one at Children's Hospital in Little Rock, changed his mind as he envisioned defeat for re-election next year.
