Some of them are important constiuent interest sites. I'd go hunting around in them, look at their issues and finding likeminded folks to work with and spread the word. Florida Land Use Law - http://flalandlaw.blogspot.com/ I found this with that aforementioned key. I'd search the counties, and the big towns (Ocala, etc). I don't think you'd be allowed to solicit in public sector sites, but the interest groups - unions, market sectors, recreational and tourist interests, contractors, should be okay. Just the same, searching - but not engaging - the public blog sites can keep you up-to-date on public sector concerns, and head off news before it even hots the presses. I assume he has a separate site for his campaign. I'd get with whatever service he's using (or tech guys, God forbid ;) ) and see what they can do to boost his net presense. Oh, and I hate to say it - but anything about your opponent that's fair game - get it out to the concerned constituents - just keep it to non-public sector sites.

I am sure it will be a tremendous learning experience and you are doing something to further your convictions. For your sake I hope your candidate wins the primary. However I feel it is bad for the country to have the Dems increase their lead in the House so I will have to pull against your guy in the general. I am looking forward to your tales from inside a campaign. I sure it will be fascinating. A little OT but KBR is no longer a subsidiary of Halliburton. They are now a stand alone construction company as of last April. Even though I come from the other side of the political aisle, I applaud your working for a candidate.

We'll look forward to hearing about your experience. Sounds as if you've found a rare candidate to back. What you wrote about fighting war profiteering sounds like what Harry Truman was doing during WW2 before FDR tapped him to be the VP for his last term. It's become all too uncommon for our elected representatives to take the phrase 'public servant' literally. How much does Grayson have in common with Dennis Kucinich, in terms of positions and policies? Good luck! We’ll look forward to hearing about your experience.

Huh. I'm right next door in the 5th! The 8th is one messy pile of demographics. The 5th is mostly rural - and very Red. We're stuck with Ginny Brown-Waite, the flag-waving, veteran-patranizing, pusher of the hot-button feax-issues for the elderly (and hyphens). Fortunately she's becoming less and less popular with the decline of Bush, her lord and master. Her stand against the SCHIP bill did not play well here on the Nature Coast. Hopefully, Karen Thurman will jump in. We shall see. Good luck over there. I have a vested interest in that District. My wife works there. JMJ You’re in the 8th? Huh. I’m right next door in the 5th!

I am getting an "Orange Box" on Tuesday. I'll see you there... I got the day off. Settle this liberal/conservative thing once and for all. Good Luck!
