I made this graphic on January 27th. Now is the time to tell the story behind it. I really wanted to work the JD campaign. I even came up with a nice plan where I would only collect a portion of the money I raised here on Free Republic. Just enough to pay the bills. My needs are rather modest but if I was going to work full time they still had to be paid.

My idea was simple , I was going to do a post everyday giving folks here an inside story of the Hayworth campaign so that interest and support could slowly build up as people became invested in reading and following the story. I wrote up the plan and presented it to JD's campaign manager. He merely glanced at it. I could tell the fellow was not even going to bother to read it.

I don't know how much of a difference my plan would have made in the outcome but the point is after all the work I had already done , which the manager fully knew, he at least could have given me a few minutes of consideration in return. I wonder who else might have offered good help but was dismissed so lightly? I have to add JD himself knew nothing of this and I don't want this to story to reflect badly on him. He was always very good to his staff and I have to take a portion of the blame for not trying to talk to him directly.
