Campaigning

Posted at 5:57 PM on June 24, 2006 by Bob Collins (2 Comments)

Candidates campaigning is a lot of fun to watch. Sure, it's corny walking in parades and kissing babies, but so what? It's still cool.

I hope bloggers paste up pictures of their candidates on the stump and I'll be happy to call attention to them.

In Blaine, today, the showers cleared for the parade. Michele Bachmann's folks at Bachmann vs. Wetterling have posted some pictures. (Glad the rain held off, but -- geez -- it's been a bad year for my lawn.)

Of course, today was the IP convention at Midway Stadium. I'm dying to see some pictures of that. Checked in at Power Liberal where live-blogging painted a picture of a political convention, a brass band, ballplayers warming up in the background and, of course, a train. Cool.

Why is it that the pro-Bachmann blog doesn't take comments, but the pro-Wetterling blog (http://blog.lib.umn.edu/smit2174/cd6/) does? Is the pro-Bachmann blog afraid of comments?

Is it the same reason that the pro-Mark Kennedy blog doesn't take comments, but the pro-Amy Klobuchar blog (http://www.dflsenate.com/?p=442) does?

Just wondering...

The Republican Party TELLS you what to think; they don't need to hear what YOU think you think. Who do you think you are anyway?
