Better days are very near

Anyone who would care to donate to my campaign for town supervisor can do so here: www.baker4supervisor.com

I don’t care where you live (although, obviously, if you live here then you have more at stake). If you are willing to contribute, your contribution will be gratefully accepted.

The campaign is actually going very well. In fact, it’s almost spooky. While I have been out pressing the flesh and knocking on doors to introduce myself and talk to people, my opponent has not emerged from the fastnesses of his home up on the hill outside the village. If it weren’t for the fact that I have seen pictures of him and I know that he has given statements to the press, I would wonder if somebody had made him up.

So, I have something of a shadow opponent here. The guy is so not-there that it’s tempting to succumb to the feeling that I’m running unopposed.

Of course, that is a mistake that I am NOT making. It would be stupid of me to act like I have this one in the bag. This entire race may come down to GOTV efforts and I know that the local GOP has a formidable GOTV infrastructure in place.

So, I’m not ready to take anything for granted here. But, contrary to the opinion of a bunch of cowed local Democrats, this race is decidedly win-able.

And I’m tired but I’m having a lot more fun that I thought I’d be. Who knew?
