Primary update

I checked the primary results from the county boards of election for Albany, Saratoga and Rensselaer. The other counties do not seem to have online results. Preliminary results do not look good for Tom Raleigh. Looks like he's getting about 13% of the vote. I was guessing he'd get 20%. He was hoping for 30%. Lee Wasserman got 39% back in 1996.

To me, Raleigh never figured out a clear and simple message to communicate to the voters. I think this was a key problem with his campaign.

I like to think I've settled on a simple, clear message. See the title of this blog if you don't know what it is yet. Okay ... if you're too lazy to look up, it's "Stop Wasting Money".

Now we'll have to see if that makes any difference in November.
