Reply #34: talked to Mark Ortiz

[Hudba]

I talked to Mark last week wednesday and he said he didn't know about the 4th candidate until i told him about it. From how he acted and from his body language He seemed genuinely surprised.
Either he deserves an oscar for his performance, or he was speaking the truth.
He also told me then already that he had looked into running in the 6th district because there was no democrat running there, but at the last moment a democrat filed, so Mark backed off.
Since he told me the truth about that, I don't see why he would be lying about the other.
From what I understand Mark just decided to run, because there was no candidate that was completely anti-war and for immediate withdrawal out of Iraq. Since then Kissell seems to have changed his points of view a little and if you ask Mark I'm sure he will say thats because of him filing (you can read that in more words on his website).
I wanna make clear that I'm not a member of the Mark Ortiz fan club, i don't work or volunteer for his campaign and I'm sure he won't win in the primary.
I just don't understand why people get so wound up about someone like mark running, it's not like the candidates who make a real change of winning in the primary have to spend a lot of money to defeat Mark. He doesn't stand a chance to begin with.:silly:
I think we should be more worried about having TWO candidates who DO stand a chance of winning, which makes them have to spend money to defeat each other. Thus leaving less money in their "war chest" to defeat Robin Hayes, who's already swimming in money to begin with.:banghead:
