The following is not true. Scott Eckersley has not dropped out of the Missouri Seven Congressional race. This press release began showing up in multiple media sources earlier today, and it may violate federal election laws and federal mail fraud and election tampering laws. The reports I am hearing claim the ISP is being tracked to the source. If a Billy Long campaign staff member is behind this e-mail, it could spell trouble for the Long campaign. Considering the precise e-mail attack against the Eckersley campaign, one would guess the person who sent it had easy access to the a campaign's list of media sources.
