Secrets of the City

The irony must be lost on the writers at Politics in MN.

Well that, or their glass house is stone-resistant.

I don’t know what deserves more ridicule, those with bad websites or those without websites.

I searched for my friend’s site,he’s running in 67A, and was pleased to see that a Yahoo search for ‘David McNutt’ suggests also searching ‘David McNutt sheep’.

For most local races, a website is a waste of time and money. Especially with spending limits. There’s no correlation whatsoever between the quality of a website and victory at this level.

Websites are a cheap and easy way to get information to voters. I would agree that the quality of the website will likely have no impact on the outcome as the local level. However, once elected it may be a good place to engage your constituency. Why not get a head start?

I did the website for the Green candidate for U.S. senate a few years ago. It worked for him, didn’t it?

maz, it didn’t help that the paticular green candidate you did a website for was crazy. It was Ed McGaa, right?

If McGaa was crazy, he was at home in the Green Party.

Cynthia McKinney is not crazy. And I’m voting for her.

Try and convince the Capitol police of that.

Cynthia McKinney is right around the bend.

Maybe not crazy, certainly not tactful.

Despite her defeat, McKinney was unbowed, unleashing a stemwinder of a concession speech in which she barely mentioned her opponent but praised leftist leaders in Cuba and Venezuela, took aim at the efficacy of electronic voting machines and offered several swipes at the media.

She can go lose elections for the Green Party. Who cares?

maz, it didn’t help that the paticular green candidate you did a website for was crazy. It was Ed McGaa, right?

Ed’s not crazy. In fact, he and I are a lot alike and are great friends. The Greens couldn’t deal with the fact that, even though he’s a world reknown environmentalist, he’s also an unabashed warrior, hunter and red meat eater. Marks against you if you’re gonna run as a politically correct Green.

maz, he came off as a bit nutty in the debates. His view that the BWCA should not be motorized, unless the person with the motor is a vet, just didn’t make sense, like a lot of things he said.

But, I would have voted for him if the whole Wellstone dying thing wouldn’t have happened.

You forget that he was a hunter. Therefore, Maz approves. Therefore, he was not nutty.
