Judicial Candidate Rant
Sorry about this piece. Doesn't really have a point, but I'm ranting here.
So here we go.
What the hell is up with Arditti's opponents. They decide during early voting to start campaigning hard? You don't win an election during early voting if you know what you are doing.
What the hell happened to Cervantes? I haven't seen him on the campaign trail in months. Literally. I got some text messages, but the candidate hasn't been seen by me in months. Anna Perez and Dolores Reyes have been working it pretty hard. During the first couple of days I saw some of his family campaigning, but thats it.
Standing at street corners is not productive. I don't know who the hell started telling people that standing on a street corner during early voting was a worthwhile venture, but it isn't. It is an INCREDIBLE waste of time. Yes, more people will see you at a street corner. But that doesn't mean more VOTERS will see you.
Think about it, a small percentage of the people who will be driving by will actually be voters. A smaller percentage will see you. An even smaller percentage will even grasp who you are and what you are running for. If you are a candidate and its early voting, get the hell off of a street corner where you MIGHT see a small percentage of registered voters and take your butt to a polling place, were 100% of the people that go there are going to vote.
That is an easy one. I don't know why people find that so hard to figure out. I was going to write about this sooner but I wanted to see how many candidates would continue to do it. Hell I even pulled over and told a candidate that their time was better spent at a polling place (he wasn't a judicial candidate).
Anyway, no point to this, just a rant.
