Adding to that we have a number of small town papers that are weeklies or even less frequently that I hope have on our list. Every outlet counts. Thanks paulie.

I am working on a media list so that we can send out news releases to the local media and let them know that those of us outside of the mainstream have some other ideas that need consideration. It'll take time but we have to start some where. I did not intend to sound negative in the post above.

Turn out will be about 40% or less for the primary. With the news media in this area pretty much dedicated to the establishment if you are not part of that game then it'll be tough to get your message out. Us Libs, Greens and whatever else will get lost in the shuffle. Look like there are four Republicans and five Democrats in the race as of now with more to announce.

If he can't place first or second in the August "top-two" primary, he can't be on the November ballot. Assuming he runs, he’ll need a massive campaign chest to place first or second.
