3:02 PM: 2nd CD: Video critical of Teahen circulates on primary day

Second District GOP candidates Peter Teahen and Mariannette Miller-Meeks continue to contact voters and encourage them to hit the polls.

Opponents of Teahen put together a You Tube video to distribute to Iowa voters challenging Teahen's credibility. The video takes much of the same information put forth by a former colleague of Teahen's and was distributed today. The video challenges Teahen on credentials he listed on his resume.

Teahen has said David Tredrea, a former British acquaintance from Darfur, is upset with him about something that happened while in Darfur, and the Brit had threated his life overseas and recently sent an e-mail threatening to ruin his reputation.

"I feel David is a threat to my life and my family," the Republican candidate said. "I have told people close to me I feel more threatened by him than any rebel in Darfur. This is a man with emotional problems. I have four daughters; I don't trust this guy."
