The Cellar - View Single Post - Mike Fisher, or why I turned my radio and TV off

People not in Pennsylvania are confused at this point. This is the Gubernatorial race we're talking about. It will be won by Ed Rendell, the Democrat. Mike Fisher is the current Attorney General running the attack campaign. Griff is voting for my buddy Kenny.

Kenny and I actually sat down last night and chatted about how stuff is going for him. He has the greatest campaign going for a third-party candidate since Jesse Ventura. If he had Jesse's name recognition, he would win. Since he doesn't, he has a shot at about 2%.

The Green Party candidate is a marvel of incompetence. They came up with a strategy of not attending any event where Rendell or Fisher are not in attendance. Their boy has turned down about 10 media events with the dismissal that it's "ghetto coverage". Those were the exact words he used to turn down WHYY-FM (thus foregoing a half-hour of talk coverage on the local public radio outlet with enormous coverage in the fourth largest media market in the country). Those were the words used to turn down the Urban League. Those will likely be the words used to turn down the NAACP. Wow.
