Pitch Posterboy

Any press is good press. Especially when you're the grass roots candidate. This week's Pitch is no exception. David Martin had been working on this story for quite some time. He talked to me about it weeks ago. Funny thing is, as the election draws closer he couldn't find anyone else willing to speak their mind about the Citizens Association. I guess I can't blame them. It's a very powerful group.

At first I didn't want to be a part of it. I was willing to offer my experiences, maybe even a quote or two, but I didn't want the thing to come off as a fluff piece. Unfortunately, with nobody willing to take the opposing viewpoint, I made the decision to go ahead and trust David's judgement and let him run with it.

I thought it came out well. It kind of paints a bleak picture of my chances, but so what? I've always loved the role of the underdog. It motivates me. If you're on top, where do you have left to go?

Give it a read. I know I'm biased, but I think it's a pretty darn good article!

Honestly, I think it helps paint you as the clear #2 choice...which is good. That's what Avis did with the "We're #2, we try harder" campaign...they painted themselves as #2 against Hertz and started blowing by #3, 4 and 5...most of which are in bancrupcy now.

All you have to do is get to round 2 at this point, then persuade the voters of #3 and #4 that their next vote should go for you...

It also paints a really bleak picture of the Citizen's association, that I think far too many people think is more legit than it really is.

I thought it was a good article. It's an eye opener where the Citizen's Association is concerned.
