There are 105 members in the Latas Yahoo group and they regularly receive e-mails urging letters to the editor on occasions when they feel Latas is not getting fair or adequate coverage.<BR/><BR/>An aggressive “under the radar” internet strategy is an excellent idea for a modestly funded grass roots campaign.Art Jacobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14354951975503040483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16095608.post-1141715744431549022006-03-07T00:15:00.000-07:002006-03-07T00:15:00.000-07:00The news coverage is deplorable.

Yes, it is way early but the CD 8 seat is one of the few competitive seats. <BR/><BR/>I'm sick of hearing the media repeating the Rovian/Republican mantra of (1) "the Democrats have no new ideas," (2) "the Democrats are just anti-Bush," (3) "the Democrats can't agree on anything." The Republicans believe that if they keep repeating this crap enough, that the public will perceive it as truth. <BR/><BR/>GretchenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16095608.post-1141698687224225672006-03-06T19:31:00.000-07:002006-03-06T19:31:00.000-07:00"Anonymous" said, "Don't know why you seem to be a..."Anonymous" said, "Don't know why you seem to be attacking me," well, maybe you're not the anonymous you were thought to be, since there may more than one...although I grant the context.<BR/><BR/>So here's a solution to worries about giving yourself away.

The media could do a much better job covering this race. After all there have been three forum now and the Douglas Dispatch is the only one that had a very small article about the last one. The attention will soon overwhelm our local papers and they should try and get ahead of the bow wave approaching. <BR/><BR/>I dare say though, the locals have put there attention on one or two individuals and have also seemed to slant their somewhat biased opinions. However, I think the limited coverage has been a little more inclusive recently, but only recently.<BR/><BR/>Nationally, Latas has gotten more attention. Why? Maybe he has articulated the issues better and the nationals have taken notice.<BR/><BR/>No egg, no chicken. I'd say an acorn.

Last time was about two weeks ago. A piece about the vet group he is in. That was a Sunday issue, I think that one is one Latas’ web site.<BR/><BR/>I also got the word that this latest article was front page above the fold. Now if the local rags will start to work on covering the issues and the candidates that can best articulate solutions to these most challenging problems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
