Dyna, I have this vision of you being a police detective. Your powers of deductive reasoning are astounding.
imho-the sign of a desperate campaign is:
- when continued (bordering on a fixation) baseless inferences are made towards issues such as campaign finacing.
- To the best of my knowledge, other than an occasional sound byte for Shane, you've mentioned Don Samuels more than the candidate you're supporting. And we're desperate?
BTB-the four children with my wife took with her while handing out literature today were promptly told by my wife that attempting to attach a Don Samuels (even though he's better looking) flyer to Olin's yardsign was not appropriate behaviour. Maybe my wife'll receive a formal reprimand from the DFL Party? The nerve, taking the time to get kids involved in politics. I'll have a talk with her.
