Man, is there no limits to the man's incompetence? One would think that as the rich people's party the powers that be would realise whose money is being stolen here.

One can only think that the Harken and Halliburton stuff really needs the lid kept on it.

Damned court let Microsoft off the hook. So that means one less contributor next time round. Perhaps we could start an investigation of some other computer companies who have failled to 'play a social role'. I can't remember getting a check from Sun or Apple.

Of course the original judge messed the case up good and proper for everyone, and not for the first time. I wonder if Penfold Jackson is a relation of Jackass Jackson, my opponent?

Maybe I'm getting to old for this, hang on I'm not yet 40. But the campaign trail would wear down anyone. Up at six, meet, greet, move and shake for 18 hours then start over the next day. And for what? If you have a 2 minute conversation with each person thats 30 people an hour, 560 in a day, not counting the time it takes to travel.

So instead of talking to the voters you talk to the real electors, the ones that vote with their wallets. So instead of 560 votes you get 560 checks which translate into perhaps 500 votes each - 25,000 votes! Now we are talking.

Yesterday we did five receptions, Daisy and Mary worked it all perfectly. Taking me to all the right people, giving me their names and bios so I could immediately greet them by name with an apposite comment and a smile. They worked in pairs so that one would introduce me to some people, then after the 3 minutes had expired the other would come to take me to someone else. Daisy is great, she can remember people I have already met, and where I met them. That counts for a lot, what these people is after is status and recognition. They want to be able to go back home and say they have met, better are a friend of the governor. This thing is much easier when you realise that they don't want issues, they want importance.
