I spent nearly 15 years in public office. I know what it takes to raise money, run a campaign, get elected and do the job. I may be leaning on my shovel, for now, but you've got a long way to go to catch up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12113707.post-1159847412722747292006-10-02T20:50:00.000-07:002006-10-02T20:50:00.000-07:00Hey Sponge ... how's the view from the cheap seats...Hey Sponge ... how's the view from the cheap seats, kid? <BR/><BR/>Whatever side of the fence your on, pick up a shovel and start digging?<BR/><BR/>Democracy is not a spectator sport.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12113707.post-1159826987405807612006-10-02T15:09:00.000-07:002006-10-02T15:09:00.000-07:00Maybe next time.

Sal may very well be a more compelling candidate than Tim was, but he still hasn't built the ground swell needed to take Donna out in Yamhill County - yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12113707.post-1159821111961472532006-10-02T13:31:00.000-07:002006-10-02T13:31:00.000-07:00that's why this is an important endorsement, becau...that's why this is an important endorsement, because it raises awareness of Peralta. Newspaper endorsements don't win elections, but they can help to get your message to wider range of voters. Duerfelt took more than 40% in this district in 2004 and Peralta is a far more compelling candidate than Duerfelt was, don't write him off, I think we've got a legitimate shot at a pickup here.Cwechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12265090139402953230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12113707.post-1159805227601494602006-10-02T09:07:00.000-07:002006-10-02T09:07:00.000-07:00Maybe "The choice should be clear," but the choice...Maybe "The choice should be clear," but the choice won't be Sal. The district is too conservative and too Republican, and Sal hasn't been around long enough to get sufficiently noticed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
