Now I know many of you are wondering who is this person I'm speaking of who fits the requirements almost perfectly and has the ability to in one fell swoop lop of the head of a state Republican Party? It's a man who life has been like a Horatio Alger story coming from poverty on the South Side of Chicago to being able to sit at the highest levels of government and bussiness. A man whose commitment to his principles is immovable and who is willing to listen to the ideas of the average man on the and his grassroots campaign supporters unlike 99% of the those who run for public office.

On a more strategic level
If we bloggers are going to become useful on a national level we need to give to and fight in races no one in the establishment are paying attention to swing district races in blue/purple states on the state level which will in effect give us people willing to go after supposedly "entrenched" incumbants in the areas around them like Republican Congresspuppets.
Ohio GOP Spokesman John McClelland says, "This is just another example that the Democrats are in disarray. They have no ideas, no vision, no leadership and Mike Coleman found out you can't run statewide campaign on cute political cartoons or finger pointing."
What do you all say to this???

When will this party learn the importance of directing website traffic by controlling exclusive rights to their Internet identity. It's something the Republicans have realized the importance of as keeping up there website traffic as www.georgebush.com, www.georgewbush.com and www.republicans.com all lead to the website of the RNC.
I never realized how fun it would be to look up Federal Election information.
The most interesting thing I've learned so far has been that John Glenn is carrying over two million dollars in debt from his 1984 presidential campaign and still has 92,000 in his Senate campaign account. Additionally, President Clinton's Presidential campaign committee still has over 300 thousand dollars in debt.
However it should, because it will be the biggest primary upset in the nation next year.
Deval L Patrick, a former assistant attorney general for WJC, ex-corporate executive and public interest lawyer has the support of the activist community, a good number of Republicans and Progressive Democrats of Massachusetts. He is also an sub saharan African who has had to deal with the racism that people of that racial type are forced to deal with due to the lingering effects of America's troubled past.
He is the underdog in this race due only to two factors, a current name recognition gap and fundraising gap between himself and the uninspiring party hack Attorney General Tom Reilly who seemingly feels its his time to be governor. But, when no one on the ground is actually driven to support you with any passion what chance are you going to have in the general election against a Republican such as Christy Mihoes who is proposing to end tolls outside of Route 128 and other government slashing programs that will resonate with ignorant voters who still think Massachusetts has high taxes when we are actually Fourtysixth in total taxes levied.
