Is Robin Weirauch running an online whisper campaign against Bob Latta?

After reading this blog post attacking Bob Latta, I wandered over to Bob Latta's Wikipedia entry, and I noticed something interesting in the edit history. Check this out: a series of defamatory edits highlighting everything from a Club for Growth non-endorsement, to investments in oil companies, to a supposed connection to Coingate.
The user name for these edits? "Robinsrage". Interesting, seeing as how Latta's opponent is Robin Weirauch. Checking Robinsrage's contribution history, there are only two articles edited, both on Wednesday: Bob Latta, and Whisper campaign.
Now, I don't know Bob Latta or Robin Weirauch from two holes in the ground, but this looks to me like Weirauch's campaign may be running an orchestrated online whisper campaign against Latta. In addition, I'm guessing that StrandedinOHIO is a moby, and part of this whisper campaign.
If it means that the path is clear for Steve Bruehrer to come take out the Democrat in November 2008.
I think that might be better then having to spend the next 2 years explaining why Bob Latta, as a Republican Congressman, does NOT represent my views, as a Republican, in congress.
It could also be that there are people who want Weirauch to win so we can get someone more conservative than Latta in there next year. I'd have to say that that's a risky strategy given that the Democrat nominee is likely to win Ohio next year and that Republicans in the state have struggled of late to remain more popular than cancer, but I can certainly understand the position.
