Hey everyone,

Well, no official website yet. We are working hard on one. I'd like to get it right rather than slap up some garbage on the web.

As an independent, we don't need to deal with the rat race of the primaries. Whew. Our efforts are better spent doing our jobs and serving our community rather than grubbing for votes. Jackie Green, fellow independent, got a good writeup here in the examiner: http://www.examiner.com/x-3747-Louisvil ... ckie-Green

They've been "handicapping the mayoral race odds since August. They started me at 50-1. Bumped me up to 30-1 after a couple of months. And now they've moved me up to 15-1. Still a longshot (me), but I'm heading in the right direction. They have a "poll" on that site, but it is totally non-scientific. I won one month. Tyler is way up this month. I could have all my facebook friends vote, but why bother?

I'm mostly encouraged by the editors seeing that Jackie and I have significant shots at knocking off the mainstream guys. The way I see it, when May rolls around, there are going to be only four likely candidates standing. One Dem, one Repub, and two Independents. May the best one win.

Please let me know when you get it going. I'll be happy to spread the word.

Thanks. I'll definitely let you know when the website is up. What is currently happening is that the Dems are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars fighting each other. I say fine. Only one will emerge, and then there is still May to November for a real campaign.

On the link I just posted, I noticed Tyler is at 75%, everyone else in single digits. He probably posted something on facebook (or similar). I've won that poll before. I don't think it means much (but it is fun when you win!). I'd rather work for real votes than for winning non-scientific polls.

Peace...
