I have had an awful lot of people tell me that I ought to sue this guy into oblivion, though.<BR/><BR/>Yeah- that is frustrating about RTV6's take on this. If there is a scandal involving a Libertarian, that's news. Campaign manager Rob Place contacted Norman Cox stating that he was glad to know that RTV6 was interested in the Kole Campaign. Mr. Cox told Rob that he isn't interested in us until later in the election season- unless there is a scandal.<BR/><BR/>That, by the way, is another of the seven signs: Media finds you relevant enough to embarass, but whether for a personal or other reason, not worthy of singing praises on. This is something I experienced at the hands of Matt Tully from the Indy Star.<BR/><BR/>The final sign is that the media jumps on your bandwagon once you're successful, and pretends they were with you all along. That will be a fun day.Mike Kolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17573721231319244630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5366199.post-1151461864761788572006-06-27T21:31:00.000-05:002006-06-27T21:31:00.000-05:00Too bad you are a nice guy. this bum needs held up...Too bad you are a nice guy. this bum needs held upside down and shook untill the money stops dropping.

You get a big wash of media attention (we all know the old saying about any publicity is good publicity) with adequate time to make the truth known as well as baiting the public with the anticipation of your statements/rebuttals. This far before the election, name recognition is the key. The fact you got some mud on you is unfortunate, but the mud slingers usually end up looking a lot worse than the guys who actually get muddy. You've got plenty of time to wash, and your image is already mending from what little damage was done.Andrew Kadukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11944123518135308325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5366199.post-1151372500917484532006-06-26T20:41:00.000-05:002006-06-26T20:41:00.000-05:00This is hilarious, Mike.

I would imagine J.Q.F.R. must be in position to gain something monetarily from the Geist annexation to take this approach. Maybe we should look at Town of Fishers service contractors and shine a nice bright light on relationships the board members have with those organizations. <BR/><BR/>I'm just amazed that if you have the nerve to sling mud like this, one wouldn't have the nerve to identify himself by name.
