This is about the time of the campaign season where folks begin to chastise the media -- deservedly so -- for ignoring the candidates who don't have R or D after their name. For the record, I think Robert Fitzgerald was the first candidate I set up in the Campaign 2006 section more than a year ago. He might've even been the first candidate in the race.

Today he made his campaign "official" (that's media code for "today we have a reason to cover the candidate") by announcing his candidacy for the IP endorsement next week (btw, we will be providing a live podium stream of the IP convention, even though it could be disastrous for us if it rains at Midway Stadium. More on that later.).

Full audio in a few minutes. Here you go.
