Off Air and campaign collapse

Our reliance on technology can be a problem at times, and problems tend to strike out of the blue. Like a fried mother board while we thought the computer was asleep. We’ve spent a week getting a working computer from our carcass collection, and we are in business once more.

Campaign Central

Candidate Robin also found the penalty for being a one man band. The deadline for registration arrived; Robin drove to a distant town to register and left his vital signatures behind. So he missed out on registering. Botched paperwork derails Robin's bid

All is not lost. With no real likelihood of winning Robin had set out to do his part to reduce the incumbent’s large margin. That part of the effort looks to have worked. The media still intend to use Robin’s oddball approach; it makes for good copy and footage. I might talk about the campaign a little more now.

I am so sorry about your computer...that sucks...I will still watch the campaign with interest (beats listening to the media hear harping on and on about Hillary...yuck)...

enigma thanks. I guess you know how the interruption takes away the flow. I'm just trying to get the mindset back now.

Oh no! One missing page! Well, I still like the "Who Cares?" campaign slogan ... and the long johns, of course.

dk, funny thing is no one expected Robin to win, so the failure isn't an issue. Feedback is that people are thrilled that he made such an impact on the overall campaign.
The downside is that we are now an informal rep's office solving people's problems :(
