Now the real work begins in the Primary campaign. This is where you start courting actual voters around the state. Half the time we will be on the road and half the time we will be raising money. That is what modern campaiging is, like it or not. It used to be that you were on the road about 80% of the time but the importance of fund raising is elevated. It is always harder in a primary election, because no one wants to make a mistake. However, we have been doing surprisingly well up to this point. Once we have all the dollars we think we can get, then we have to decide how to spend it in a Primary that will most likely have a low voter turn out because the main races, Governor, Congress and Senate are not contested. Only the lower constitutional offices have contested races, mine being one of them. I have the feeling that the turn out will be driven by local races, such as County Commissioner and such.
