Wow, this election could get nasty before it's over.

And now, the Tories are in serious damage control after a staffer in the premier’s office publicly questioned the Wildrose commitment to family since Ms. Smith, who turns 41 on Sunday, and her husband, David Moretta, don’t have biological children. (Ms. Smith has a stepson from Mr. Moretta’s previous marriage.) On Friday, Amanda Wilkie, who once worked for the Wildrose Party before joining the government, tweeted:
“If @ElectDanielle likes young and growing families so much, why doesn’t she have children of her own?’ Ms. Wilkie wrote, along with “#wrp family pack = insincere.”
On Saturday, Ms. Smith issued a response: she tried, and failed to conceive.
“When David and I married in 2006 we intended to have children together,” Ms. Smith said in a statement, “After a few years we sought help from the Calgary Regional Fertility Clinic. I appreciated the support and assistance of the caring staff as we went through tests and treatments, but in the end we were not successful.”

She also apologized minutes after the tweet (“Fine. I apologize”) and later wrote: “140 characters, didn't come across the way I meant it and for that I'm sorry. I meant to imply something entirely different.”

Nice apology. What the heck could she possibly have meant?
