According to this article Angelo Mancuso said that Noel didn't have permission to use his name. The article also says:

Noel said he didn't have time to get the entire Republican executive committee together to get a consensus on the press conference, but a phone call from an outraged 5th District Republican Chairman Elbert Peters "triggered my desire" to go to the media about the advertising.

Let me tell you, this woman will NOT work for us the people as she claims that she will. My husband and I hired this woman to be our attorney, we fell into a horrible building ordeal where we signed our property over to our builder because we were told “we had to”. After seeking legal advice from one attorney we THOUGHT we were covered but later found out we were not. ( attorney at that time was not Cheryl ) Long story short is the house had/has many flaws…. but the ONLY way we were going to get our family land back was to continue with closing and accept the house as is. We hired Cheryl Baswell-Guthrie, P.C. prior to our closing. She was paid a nice retainer fee and we were told due to financial situations the rest would be “at the back end” meaning after settlement. After we were advised to walk from our closing 2 times because she didn’t want us to sign acceptance of property.. even though our lender said that would NOT limit our right to seek litigation against the builder for contractural or workmanship, my husband and I decided to go ahead and close and “accept” the house so we would gain our family land back. We contacted our attorney Cheryl to see where we stood with litigation against our builder and were told to drop off all closing documents and set an appointment in 10 days to discuss, after she had time to review the closing documents. We did that, and when we arrived for our scheduled appointment, not only did we have to wait for an hour, she forgot why we were there. HELLLLLO WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GETTING PAID FOR We concluded our meeting and later sent an email asking for an update… and where our money went that was supposed to file documents she never filed….. to date, no response. My husband and I terminated her as our attorney effective immediately, as well as filed a complaint with the Alabama State Bar. If anyone is interested in the letter sent to her, let me know as well as what I sent to the Bar Association… I have to apologize in advance as I am not a “political” person…and don’t keep up with the campaigns all that much, with four kids it is hard to keep the channel off Cartoon Network… but I can tell you I hear her campain ads and am disgusted! I know this was a LONG blog, thank you for reading and take it first hand…… DON’T VOTE FOR HER!

So basically the press release (and accompanying press conference) about Guthrie’s misleading campaign was itself misleading?!

Oh what a tangled web we weave…

As Ray McKee’s campaign manager, I am informing you that Ray was at his office all day today and DID NOT join the Madison County Republican Party and other candidates at their meeting today. Ray has a broken leg which limits his mobility and is staying neutral in the situation involving Parker and Baswell-Guthrie. We take offense that this name was used in this press release.
