Eleven Months and Counting

It seems hard to believe that we're still eleven months from what looks like will become a National "Super-Tuesday" Primary Election day. Friends and colleagues, like us, are trying to figure out just how the heck we can have the most impact with our limited budgets. A few candidates out there, ahem, have super-size-me budgets so we'll probably see lots of them flying around the country making appearances and speeches and things. But, what about campaigns like ours that are just full of heart! Are connections and money everything? Should it be that only those with influence now will govern later?

Oh, and just by way of fact: half of we American citizens will be voting on February 5, 2008 (or before). No one knows if the rest of us will have loads or no influence in our primary elections. So, here's to eleven months of fun!
