Speaking for myself, I reached out to Richardson, Obama and Edwards' camps. Richardson's was the only one who responded enthusiastically and to participate with us as a blog. Edwards' camp had the respect to see us as press and invite us to an event as press. Obama...(sound of crickets). I got no response from them. I DID have a friend who is an Obama supporter come and write (at MY invitation!) about him...and I made use of her inspiring post later. But the Obama campaign, from what I have seen, has in no way responded to our invitation, let alone reached out to us. So don't give us crap about not giving Obama fair consideration. We invited him in. And we have blogged positively about him (as well as positively about Richardson and Edwards).

And perhaps you might consider that we HAVE been to his website. But you aren't going to win an election by directing people to your website. There is something called "outreach." THere is something called "resepect." Giving us crap for stuff you encountered elsewhere is bullshit. If you won't take the time to figure out who you are talking to, then you are behaving much like poor Richardson who thanked the wrong union at a union sponsored forum. Only in his case he was thanking the wrong people. You are scolding the wrong people. Really, REALLY bad form.
