Comments on: My St. Cloud Friend is PO’ed http://www.residualforces.com/2005/12/28/my-st-cloud-friend-is-poed/ A Stream of Consciousness by Andy Aplikowski on His Life, His Politics, His Dogs, His Truck, and Whatever Pleases His Fancy Thu, 08 Jan 2009 19:04:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Tony G http://www.residualforces.com/2005/12/28/my-st-cloud-friend-is-poed/#comment-12822 Tony G Thu, 29 Dec 2005 20:44:16 +0000 http://www.residualforces.com/?p=949#comment-12822 I think your friend is WAAAAYYY off base. The problem was NOT the volunteers. It was the "middle management". The piss poor utilization of those volunteers was a huge problem. Explain to me why I, living 35+ miles out of the district, got calls reminding me to go vote. Explain to me why my wife, living 35+ miles out of the district AND is not a delegate, got calls reminding her to vote. No one said it was the volunteers (or lack thereof). It was a very piss poor job by the local BPOU, the Senate Caucus and the GOP. BTW, if a GOP candidate wants to run their campaign a certain way all of you organizations helping out should offer advice ONCE and then shut up. If Ox wants a campaign where he does a lot of face time on local TV talking about HIS issues instead of his opponents issues then support him. There are so many issues with the way the caucus' and the party "help" with campaigns that I wonder how if that is why "retirement" has been the talk in the cloak room for a few years.
