State Rep. Beth Coulson has an “R” behind her name, she sits on the Republican side of the House, votes with the GOP caucus for leadership.

The trouble is, her district leans heavily Democratic. The Democrats have been trying to inform voters all season that Coulson is really a Republican, but Coulson has complained that the Democrats are just being mean.

One of my subscribers received some Coulson lit in the mail today. I have some excerpts below. Sorry about the size, but I couldn’t make them any smaller.

The first has her with the ever-popular Barack Obama, who, in reality, has endorsed Coulson’s Democratic opponent.

This next mailer features Governor Rod Blagojevich, complete with a helpful quote from the Democratic leader.

She even features Attorney General Lisa Madigan in the Blagojevich piece.

As one Republican cracked today, “Coulson gives RINOs a bad name.” (A RINO, for those of you who don’t know, is a Republican In Name Only.)

More later this weekend.
