News Martin touts another endorsement he doesn't have?

The Macon Telegraph's Travis Fain, blogging at Lucid Idiocy and following up on what was first reported here at Georgia Premium, follows up and says that U.S. Senate candidate Jim Martin's campaign may have pulled the trigger a little too soon on another endorsement. First there was the Josh Lanier gaffe, now it involves state Agriculture Commissioner Tommy Irvin. Fain reports the Martin campaign is declining comment until it speaks with Irvin.
Fain raises two good points:
But, 1.) How do you run a race against Vernon Jones and end up looking shady?And, 2.) Is this all a case of people truly remaining neutral, or of people just technically remaining neutral because Jones might win?
