Where's my numbers?

Posted at 5:50 PM on February 1, 2006 by Bob Collins (2 Comments)

Folks have inquired why I haven't added the Mark Kennedy and Amy Klobuchar numbers to the Campaign 2006 site. Well, the story is it's a scurrilous attempt to prevent any good publicity for one candidate over the other.

No, wait, that's not it. It's because I still don't have the exact numbers from the FEC. They're supposed to be available immediately for candidates who file electronically, and within 48 hours for those who file paper. So far, neither Klobuchar or Kennedy are showing up (note to campaigns: feel free to fax the actual year-end statement to me at 651-290-1295). And there's a couple of congressional candidates who haven't shown up either.

I've got my money on a "scurrilous attempt to prevent any good publicity for one candidate over the other."

JK.

I'll probably ruin your career at MPR with this compliment, Bob, but you have the best "MSM" blog around.

Well, my dream in life is to be a batting practice pitcher. I'm digging the opportunity to read your material and all the others. We should talk offline at some point because I have some election coverage ideas that I'd like to include you and others in regarding blogging and the like. It's a real off-the-wall approach to election night coverage which may or may not fly with the bosses here but it's stuff I've been noodling on for the last few days and I'd like to bounce it off some of you at some point. Maybe some beer and pizza sometime?
