Yesterday I was wondering how the NJ was going to cover the event in Wilmington. Today I'm still wondering. Is the NJ really passing on this?

I was glad to be able to attend the Kerri Harris announcement today in Wilmington. I had one big question to answer - is this campaign legit? I got to see first hand that, indeed, it is legit. There will be a lot written about this candidate and this campaign, but make no mistake - this is for real.

I saw a serious operation staffed up by a network of organizations and constituencies all converging on this campaign, possibly for their own reasons, but bound by a commitment to challenge the status quo. I saw a deliberate and serious candidate, expressing a sort of humble urgency. But it is also what I didn’t see. I’ve been around campaigns that were not serious. It is hard to put a finger on, but you just get a sense that these unserious campaigns don’t embrace the grind. They think doors are going to be thrown open. I didn’t get that impression from this campaign.
