I received no responses (i.e., not even "No" responses) from County Supervisor candidates John Spencer, Hank Weston, Martin Harmon, and Gordon Beatie regarding my "blog setup help" offer from a week and a half ago.
The only active blogger of the bunch listed below is still Nevada City City Council candidate Barbara Coffman.
------
He accepted my offer, so I've started a weblog for Terry Lamphier, who's challenging John Spencer for the position of Nevada County's District III Supervisor.
(I put up several of Terry's past Other Voices columns and his introduction, but will be backing off and letting him do the heavy lifting from here on.)
(For more of his views, see the comments on posts over at Russ Steele's
NC Media Watch; for example, on George Rebane's On Balance a Philistine? post, or on Russ Steele's Do you know what LOS really means? post.)
Today I've extended offers of "blog setup" help to John Spencer and to the District IV Supervisor candidates (Hank Weston, Martin Harmon, and Gordon Beatie); I do hope they'll accept.

Russ, I hope you had better success than I did.
(although we do have 1 success - Barbara Coffman's been blogging up a storm in her City Council campaign. Here's hoping the electorate rewards her for it.)

Max, what confuses me is a (noncombatant's) report that Mr. Spencer and his wife are wonderful and gracious people.
Regarding the initial foray and faux pas, my guess is that - if I'm correct in assuming he has Freeper tendencies, politically - he thought he was at a WWF (wrestling, not wildlife) event and not a dinner party, and acted accordingly.
(and did apologize upon discovering his error)
As for the disparaging comments, actually I think they weren't just made about the councilmember...Sadie might have insight on this.
:-}
max, your "in a nutshell" sketch of Mr. Spencer and his wife brings to mind the quote (in here) from Bill Keller, executive editor of the New York Times: "If you don’t explain yourself, you just invite others to do the explaining of you for you."
I'm not sure Mr. Spencer recognizes that he's extending this invitation; I hope he'll consider retracting it.
