I don't recall Cheung mentioning Jehlen's contributors during last night's debate at all. It was not an issue yesterday.

I assume somertricky is referring to this: http://www.lelandcheung.com/blog/leland-cheung-releases-donor-names-implores-senator-jehlen-to-d

It seems like a pretty weak line of attack. It feels like Cheung is having a hard time finding solid footing on which to base this primary challenge.
