Actually Col. Russell wished Burns luck in the special election. And that’s a fact. He half-joking said he might wtite himself in at a town hall meeting in Indiana, PA, both he and Burns were there and the crowd laughed. He also said he’d vote for Burns should Burns be on the ballot in November.

Alot of the reporting on this has been taken out of context, or in some cases distorted by partisan commenters.

If that is the case, then I apologize to Col. Russell. As I said, I have heard him speak a number of times and I really like him. However, the newspaper stories have him coming off as a whiner. I'm glad to hear that its not true and I hope he just tries his hardest to win the primary and stop talking about the process of selecting Burns.
