Close to midnight, it became clear he wouldn’t finish all the notes, so Craddock prepared to call it quits. But not before he wrote a letter to his close friend Josh Lineberger.
“Dear Josh, Thank you so much for your generosity,” he wrote. “I really appreciate all of your help. Your the man Chris.”
The sign-off contained a grammatical error (“Your”) that, perhaps because it was so late, the candidate did not catch. At least the thank-you note was going to his close friend.
Perhaps I wouldn’t be so indignant if I weren’t convinced that most WaPo reporters (the ones I know anyhow) define what journalism should be. This article is a cheap shot beginning to end.
No matter, Craddock is going to win the 67th with a race well run.
