I would love to win.
I do consider it quite a longshot, but don't
put words into my mouth like that, please!

Yes fundraising.
No TV ads as direct mail and Direct Voter contact are
better ways to spend your money in a lower budget
campaign effort.
Bumper stickers and yard signs are actually a big
waste of money, if you believe what professional
Campaign Managers tell you.

Mister Linnabery is mostly right here.
Me not drawing income from other sources,
I don't spend every waking hour, but I spend 5-12
hours a day on campaigning efforts.
He's good a good point about fundraising.
Unfortunately, it's a small pool I have to raise from.

I'm not in disagreement with Mister Linnabury on the
platform, as I can tell. I have a different style
than he likes in delivering my campaign message to the
voters. But, I don't have a problem when a candidate
or member disagrees with some parts of the platform.
It's different now than ten years ago, and ten years
from now it will again change.
As the most visible member of the LPOC,with more
than 90% of the media contact and mention over the
past several years, my strategy seems to be working.
Orange County LP Membership and registration is up or
stable since I have become active in the organization.
In fact, there is no other large or medium region in
California that can make this claim.
