Final Stretch

Now that the absentee ballots are in the hands of the voters who requested them, I'd say we're in the home stretch.

So if you got your ballot in the mail today, please make sure you send it back.

Your vote matters.

Especially if you're voting for me, because I need every vote.

The weather was lousy today, sprinkling on me while I was out in precinct 51.

And few people were home, which meant I rubberbanded 300 campaign letters on door handles, and disturbed a lot of dogs sleep.

I'm going to Central Heights tomorrow.

My cell phone is in my pocket; 670-1214 just in case you want to ask me a question, or you can ask here, or email me; ecoobs@aol.com

Thanks for stopping by - Eric

The Blustery Day?

The weather the last two days has reminded me of a cartoon the kids used to watch, about Winnie the Pooh and the blustery day.


Of course, flying Piglet like a kite seems a lot more dramatic than my plastic garbage cans rolling around the driveway, and the branches breaking off the tree.


Hopefully the wind and the weather will stay away so I can get out and campaign in the precincts.


I'm expecting to see some more election coverage in the GAZETTE this weekend - so far they've only covered my race, and the Reno/Prouse race.


I thought that the article about Jerry was kind of tilted towards the incumbent, as they painted Jerry as some kind of radical/nut job/ tax protester. He's not. Here's the article;

Jerry is a good, hardworking man, who has firm convictions, and a heck of a nice family.


Every small business owner in Montana takes every tax advantage they can, and Jerry is no different.


So read the article, and let me know what you think - biased towards the incumbent, or not?
