So when its 100 Degrees outside, maybe its not such a great idea to go out campaigning hardcore.
Yeah, I know, great excuse. However, believe it or not, I like to door knock. Folks (for the most part) appreciate a visit by someone who might well be representing them. Sales are good so-to-speak, and anyone who I have talked with is positive and upbeat about the chances of turning this district to one that is a little more predictably conservative.

Its somewhat funny after looking at the article then seeing at the side, (to the left here) a reference to the Koch brothers. Low budget grass root campaigns don't need em, but amazingly, the only thing that gets the left's undies bunched like the mention of George Bush, is a mention of anything to do with the Kochs. Ring a bell they salivate, say "GW" and they will shout "no war for oil!", or have a successful message, and off to Koch-ville for those folks. In any event, I'll be writing as I can, but have been happy with the contributions by others on those days where I am working [on this other matter] as mentioned here, and in the article below.

We'll be looking for your articles! (3 comments) Comments >> |
