SO I just want to be upfront so as not to cause any problems, but I fully support Trivedi. So be sure to not all my comments on the 4 news pieces on Pike and Trivedi are going to have comments against Pike and for Trivedi.

I agree there is still time to right the ship, but it just seems every few weeks another prominent politician is endorsing Trivedi, or another one has withdrawn their support from Pike. That has been the storyline for the past few months. The Pike campaign is bleeding and in need of a major shakeup.

Exactly! How much money has Dr. Trivedi raised?

All these comments are silly. Anyone trying to read the tea leaves based on the whimsical declarations of politicians is off their rocker.

I think it is clear that Pike still has an enormous money advantage, which could be the ballgame because neither of them has much or any name ID.

It’s also true that this looks like it could be a real primary with both sides having money, message, and galvanized supporters.

Everything else is windowdressing at this point.

WOW this is amazing. It looks like this race is changing and not in the direction of Doug Pike. Watch out “party insiders” you might have withdraw your support or switch it soon enough!

If you walk to the first 3 miles of a marathon you’re going to be too far behind at the end for it to make any difference.

So…..set the race up early.

Well then-
The primary is still a long way off. Everyone is getting an early jump this year.

What’s unfortunate is that too few of these 2010 candidates showed this much enthusiasm helping the 2009 candidates.

We’ve got about 3 months until petitions and the local county conventions and then another 3 months until the Primary.

It’s a marathon, not a sprint.

I think we’re witnessing the makings of a primary upset next spring.

“In other news, Sen Leach had this to say about baseball:

“I rooted for the Phillies when they were the defending champs. But when they faced a contested World Series this year, I though it was appropriate for me to cheer for both teams.” ”

Love the laughter. Thanks Danny.
