Times Union Publisher Rex Smith pontificates candidate coverage;

" So let's say you woke up one morning and decided the patriotic thing to do was to run for public office -- to offer yourself to voters as a servant of their interests, determined to do something good for your community."

We'll figure that this will be the strategy of the red and blue when it comes to debating.

The ten percent polling threshold maintained by the LWV or perhaps no office space will
keep the real anti-war candidate at bay. We'll certainly have position papers. There should be a money consideration. The incumbant ought to spend at least a dollar of his own money.

Touting itself as the first public poll in the 20th Congressional District, no metric was provided for our campaign.

It's one thing when Rex Smith doesn't care, but it's completely another when an organization purporting to serve some public good gets involved.

Mr. Thompson of the Glens Falls PostStar interviewed us on Friday.
The article was in Sunday's paper. It is also available online.

Liz Benjamin did a bang up job determining the mystery objectors today.

I copied her at 8:30 about our situation and she was done before the day's whistle.

Despite the recent tortures of lawyers and bureaucrats we were happy to see an endorsment of sorts.

Here's Eric's rant in response to a TU blog entry.
