All GOP presidential contenders have been called for comment on the Goode affair, to no avail: McCain, Giuliani, Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney (R) (left a message), Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS) (left a message). I called the Republican National Committee, too — no answer, but I left a message.
A couple readers suggested calling Sen. Gordon “This War May Be Criminal” Smith (R-OR), so I did. His Hill office was closed, but his Oregon office suggested I leave a message for his D.C. spokesman anyway.
