Dow is a much better choice. i wonder why no one else has jumped in.
Dow is advertising on Facebook.
Somebody is polling voters on this race already.
Either that Hunter guy or Dow or Larry.
I’ll find out at the groundbreaking at Husky Stadium today.
Why not provide the source of your rumor, instead of potentially allowing yourself to be used by campaign operatives?
@2 – There is a ton of energy behind Dow. With the type of money he is raising, other folks even thinking about running are probably being scared off.

Really Erica, would it be that hard to look at what Phillips raised in 2007? He knew full well then that he was going to run for Exec back then. Here, I’ll do the work for you: he raised close to $280K and barely spent any of it. All he has to do is get permission to transfer it & that’s a hell of a lot more than $9K.
Shh, @8, it’s a secret.
Dang, they found out …
If she knew how to read a PDC report, she’d already know that…
@8: Phillips has been transfering that money for months–it represents most of what he’s “raised” for Exec to date. But, with Constantine in the race, Larry’s having a harder and harder time getting people to approve the transfers.
This race is getting good.
