I've been helping my dear friend, Lisa Raleigh, run for Florida circuit court judge this summer. Lisa is a special counsel in the Florida Attorney General's office. I've been volunteering some time to do data processing for Lisa. In Florida you can get information on who voted in recent elections (e.g. who bothers to vote in primaries), their address, age, gender, party affiliation, how they voted (early, absentee, or election day), and even race. So there's a lot of things you can do to choose which voters you'd like to target. Lisa doesn't have a lot of money so this sort of targeting is very important to her.
Well, the amazing thing about Lisa's campaign is not that she made it out of a three way primary race and will be on the November ballot (along with Barack Obama and John McCain) for the run-off, but that she did it while being outsp
ent about 12 to 1 ($159,000 to $13,000) by her run-off opponent, Frank Sheffield (shown here on the campaign trail).Now, Mr. Sheffield is probably a good guy, but I know that Lisa is smart, hard-working, honest, caring, and a very experienced public prosecutor. If there are any Americans reading this, please consider helping to make sure that we have one more high quality public servant in the world by having a look at Lisa's campaign website and donating to Lisa's campaign.
