I'm Not Just Blogging, Ya Know

I am of course not going to restrict my campaigning to the blogosphere. As much as our well-educated Montgomery voters are likely to use the InterNet to research their candidates, they're not likely to be impressed by a mere blog.

Thus, I am starting to also work the website of the Washington Post, specifically the "comments" section. Seriously, go to the Post website, pick an article about Montgomery in particular, Maryland in general as it affects Montgomery, and anything in general that affects Montgomery. Everything from the mortgage mess to the financial meltdown to our overly permeable borders, and I am all over it like a swarm of flies on fresh fertilizer. There you can see the flow of dialog and the give and take, and quite frankly, you will see that I'm good at it. That's a quality that will be needed when, if elected, I am seated on the County Council.

I suppose I will also be doing the Examiner as well. What, that rag? Give the free Press some respect, okay? It's widely read locally, and a lot of local activists read it and also post on the website. At least one other candidate for Council and myself will be likely debating there, or maybe just sniping at each other's positions.

C'mon! This is one of the best ways to get not just campaign speeches and stump messages from the candidates, this is where you interact with the candidates, albeit online.

See you all in the papers!
