Lennox denies any role in Bristow campaign

By Todd A. Heywood | 11.19.08 | 12:39 am

In my blog post, “Bristow denies he is running for MI-GOP youth chair” I reported that conservative blogger Joe Sylvester had said that Dennis Lennox, a Michigan State University student, had issued a press release state that Bristow was running for youth chair of the Michigan Republican party. Lennox says Sylvester’s statement is “utterly false” adding that he has had “no involvement with any campaign by Kyle Bristow for youth chairman of the Michigan Republican Party.”

As I cannot confirm Sylvester’s statement, I accept Lennox’s denial as true. I apologize for the error and not seeking Lennox’s comment before publication.

    That is an outright lie. The three of us (Bristow, Lennox and myself) were discussing the prospect of Bristow running. In Lennox's typical faction he has a press release out within ten minutes. Dennis Lennox DID send out the press release however it WAS unauthorized by Mr Bristow as the prospect of his running was in the exploratory stage.
