The Challenge of Challenging The System

Today, Brattleboro Reformer and Bennington Banner covered my candidacy announcement.  Mountain Times appears to have been first to publish, yesterday.

Also today, there was an interesting opinion article in the Boston Globe by Joan Vennochi about Bret Bero. It's hard to get media attention, especially when you've got "the kind of resumé that guarantees disrespect from a political universe that runs on conventional thinking." I wonder if the pollsters will ignore me, just as they did Bret Bero.

According to research cited by the article, "horse race coverage can...give an advantage to novel and unusual candidates". Maybe there's a chance for this unusual candidate. Or, maybe the campaign coverage could be less horse race and more issue investigation.
