A campaign weekend in pictures and text
I have a pair of slideshows on my Examiner page which detail the events of this weekend – part 1 is here and part 2 is here.
All in all, it seemed like the Crab Feast was a little flat. Perhaps some of the livelier people were at the Glenn Beck event in Washington, D.C. but it seemed awful subdued to me. Then again, perhaps this is the breather people need before the stretch run to the November election.
Some people questioned why we picked the Beck date, but honestly last winter when we picked the date we had no idea that event was being planned. Our reasoning for having the Crab Feast earlier than our normal late September date was to get the maximum number of candidates involved, and in that aspect we did really well – only a handful of candidates didn’t show.
Sunday’s event was fun in that it was freeform – too bad more people weren’t there. Chris had a good collection of candidates there – everyone from local to state-level people. It was interesting to see the disagreement between Dustin Mills and Rudy Cane when Mills confronted Cane with his own voting record, or lack thereof in that case. (I have the feeling Rudy will really dislike the monoblogue Accountability Project.)
One thing I didn’t mention in the slideshow was the St. Francis carnival on Saturday night. As one might expect, there were a number of political hopefuls there. In 3 hours there I saw both of the Brewingtons (with their kids), Joe Ollinger, Tom Taylor (working the dollar wheel), and Matt Maciarello. He’s a tall guy seeing that I’m 5′-10″.
