Media

Conservative media have finally recognized our existence.  We don ‘t care too much about legacy media.  The Washington Examiner ran a story about Rep. Duncan Hunter (CA) inquiring of the Speaker how many states had passed a BBA.  Drudge picked it up, and apparently Fox News is running a story.  This is all because of Michigan becoming our 23rd.  Apparently that number is a lot more interesting than 22.  Which will make 24  — South Carolina — a big story.  This will help give us credibility, which helps fundraising — a lot.

It turns out South Carolina depends on one member of Senate Judiciary.  If he buys in, we’re good.  If not, we’re dead.  He’s a lawyer and apparently something of a constitutional scholar, and he’s taking a lawyerly, scholarly look at it.  Unless he’s an idiot we should get South Carolina. 

Trouble erupted in Louisiana, but we still think we’re O.K.   We’ll get it, 25.

That may be it for this year.  Next year, we get Wisconsin and Kentucky and the rest is West.  All solid conservative Republican states, with big majorities.  The Birchers and Schlafleyites are all that’s between us and 34. 

That’s my pitch for money.
