I’ll be interested to see if they endorse in the Congressional 2nd Democratic primary because just last week, Bob Soutier told me they hadnt decided when to hold interviews. I’ll presume until I hear otherwise that this press conference will not include all races; if it does, someone might ask them if their new plan is to endorse first, interviews after, tho I’ll still presume fairness and objectivity and no “the fix is in” dynamic; we Dems shouldnt be like that and usually arent. One of my opponents does seem to be the party annointed from what I can tell, chosen before I decided to get in the race; a nice guy, smart on the issues, last ran for Green party in California but I understand that was because incumbent was a pro-war Democrat. We’re friends, should work together whoever wins, but unless he can raise a quarter million more than I can, I think I have a better chance to beat Akin because of name recognition and the feistiness and vigor of my campaigning. Tho will still take a half-million dollars of tv time to beat Akin presuming he can be beat. And he might have been the party’s blessed even if it were known I was getting in. But the endorsement process should still be fair. Good luck with that plan, tho sometimes it is and sometimes it isnt, depending on who’s endorsing and under what circumstances. I will still be disappointed if Bob Soutier told me they’d be interviewing when they had already chosen their candidate; I dont believe he would do that; we’ll see.
