Campaign Outreach
I hate to do this, because I geniunely want to Karen Hartley Nagle to succeed now that she is our Democratic nominee for Congress, just as I wanted Dennis Spivack to succeed in 2006. But I have to criticize the KHN campaign for a moment. Yesterday, Brenda Irwin of the KHN sent out an email at 5:36 p.m. to a number of interested volunteers and supporters of Karen Hartley Nagle, alerting them to a preliminary strategy meeting for volunteers at the campaign headquarters at 7 p.m. that same day. In other words, people got exactly 1 hour and 24 minutes notice.
I am not sure what the turnout was at this meeting, but I can’t imagine it was high, since I only received the email this morning, when I received it at work. I imagine others were in the same position, and even if they received and read the email immediately, many probably could not make it on such short notice. Now, perhaps this was just an one time quirk of scheduling, but you have to allow more time for notice of these volunteer meetings so that you can get maximum turnout of interested volunteers.
To that end, if you want to help out on the KHN campaign, please email HartleyNagle08 [at]gmail[dot]com, and I am sure someone from the campaign will get back to you.

Karen Hartley Nagle is running for something?
So mean.
I would rather have bamboo shoots driven under my finger nails….
I would rather have lunch with RuthAnn Minner….
I would rather be Rick Jensen’s best friend….
I would basically rather do ANYTHING other than help KHN do anything other than move out of Delaware. Just let her campaign wither on the vine and bring out a REAL candidate in two years.
I was kind of surprised she won. She had no presence in southern Delaware until about two weeks before the primary. I figured Mike Miller’s name recognition and billions of signs would count for a little something more.
Are you sure it wasn’t an e-mail program error? I’ve had hiccups with my e-mail countless times, just totally bizarre things.
P.I.: It’s too bad all the “real” candidates are giving it a pass this time around. Carney, Markell, Denn, even Peterson and Kowalko and Schwartzkopf – they’d all make great contenders THIS time around.
When Castle steps down, we’re going to see a free-for-all, 10-candidate primary by the very same Democrats who didn’t want to take the chance of running against him previously.
Chris Coons is the person the HIGH DEMs have annointed with the go-boy after Castle retires in 2010(/2012?) Coons has the personal fortune as does Markell and the DEM party strategy seems to be that the best path to a national position is through one’s personal bank account.
Seeing how Coons specifically repays his campaign workers with tax-payer money (Cephas, Farley, Pryzwara), I tend to doubt that he will be as interested in spending his own Gore family bank account as his party might think.
If KHN can be believed, Coons made the same rounds in DC this spring that she made as a precursor for the congressional run. His plan, however, was to wait through a ‘safe second term as county executive’ and then run for Congress in 2010…or 2012?
The DCCC thought that Castle should be taken out this round, however, and thought that KHN could do it. Riding on several coattails, natch.

This is a joke, right?
The DCCC does not have KHN’s race on their Red-to-Blue list, their Emerging Races list or their Races-to-Watch list. She is not on their Frontline Democrats list. I’m going to be stunned to hear that she is getting any help from DCCC at all much less that they even know she is running.
No, not a joke. It is what KHN was saying.
One would have to believe her and I did but…that is one area that I am going to try to back out of gracefully.
