Bringing Meghan Jones in is a coup, as I believe she was a member of the Young Republicans group before she went to Channel 4. <BR/><BR/>I'm quite certain the Allegheny County Young Republicans group is now defunk. They haven't been heard from since the first Jim Roddey election.<BR/><BR/>There needs to be far more Mark DeSantis news as his credible involvement in the race is the only way to raise more funds.Thomas Leturgeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07452123582626408864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481330.post-53451381890626198052007-07-15T19:13:00.000-04:002007-07-15T19:13:00.000-04:00Yes, of course.

He needs to talk to many people as often as possible -- rather than 1 on 1. The small groups are good when a larger group isn't handy or able to be created. But, often, a 1 to many conversation can also occur on the net and with the media.<BR/><BR/>The bloggers and net is a way to energize his supporters, coordinate outreach, and -- as talked about in another thread in another blog -- preach to the choir.Mark Rauterkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157914569686528007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481330.post-28034782829446076182007-07-15T10:17:00.000-04:002007-07-15T10:17:00.000-04:00Mark:I realize that blogging is important, but, gi...Mark:<BR/><BR/>I realize that blogging is important, but, given the age demographics of our city, and the general population as well, and those who don't blog or have internet access (which is more the case than you would want to believe), don't you believe that its going to take pressing the flesh as well. He's going to need to connect to the people in a medium far greater than a blog. <BR/><BR/>I'm hoping the guy shows up on the door steps upon many of the parts of this city, especially those parts that are ignored. I would take that as someone who does want to connect and is serious about getting to know the citizens of our great city.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
