Hey Team,
The last of the votes are taking a long time to be announced. (We were told yesterday that there were still approx 600 special votes to be counted. The cynic in me wonders if it's because msm are being given time to get all their ducks in a row.)
You know...like, telling the news.
Like Ben Tomsett of the ODT doing his write up in hindsight, as he kindly informed me that's the way of it.
Charming.
During these past weeks I was in two minds about handing out my blog link.
That's why I didn't include it on my flyers.
On the one hand, I'd rather those stories were by some unknown gracious design kept away from us, out there in space - considering there is a great dose of negativity in there, and nuisance repetition - and on the other hand, I had put my hand up for leadership and so of course it was incumbent upon me to share.
I was well aware that negativity coming from me would tend to hurt my prospects in the public domain.
And the msm knows that any news is better than no news.
So --- regarding normal sane people's political efforts, they just don't want to give the news.
No doubt there will be some voters on this team of genuine nation builders who haven't yet seen my public diary. I'm remembering how one man told me he had voted for me going by the booklet blurb only and that he also told his relation. There were a few wee incidents like that.
Sometimes southerners reminded me that word of mouth is still the best way of achieving meaningful collective gains.
I've always thought so too.
