Very true. Someone I know who works in the industry says that his eyes are on bigger, more national things to a point of obesession. He also said KFYI has or used to have policies that would require him to resign.
In the end I think this comes down to money and JD's ability to raise it (campaign+defense fund) and make it.

Ryan - trust me when I tell you that KFYI doesn't give a rip whether Hayworth wins or loses elections. He has a core audience that will follow him through thick or thin. KFYI isn't trying to reach the broad audience - just conservatives.

Can you introduce legislation to break up the strangle hold that Apple has on the OS X market? I want the freedom to choose my own hardware and I want to be responsible for my own decisions, even if they fail to run the OS. Why won't Apple recognize my right to build my own system if I have the ability? As it is, the powers of Big Stupidity are using the levers of power to funnel me into the abyss (MS Win) or the void (*nix). Please, remember the poor people who can't afford over-priced hardware. Don't leave us out in the cold dark realm of bad software.

You'll never see JD on the ballot. He needs a LOT of money to pay off his legal bills and has a kush radio job where he can say anything he wants.

As they say in Looney Tunes, well now, I wouldn't say that... :)

Don't be too sure about Hayworth not running: He just might surprise all of us...

If he runs two things happen. He gets crushed and outspent 2-1 by McCain. You can be on the radio losing to Mitchell, not when you've lost to Mitchell and McCain.
2nd- he wins...then gets beat in the general by Rodney Glassman, who would raise more money then JD, and spend equally of his own money. Glassman is a center candidate who wouldn't have a bloody primary and could run a centrist campaign from the start. There's that $ issue. He won't get major attention running against McCain but would be the biggest target for Dem money in the nation running against Hayworth.

I wish we had a better candidate than Hayworth. I don't think he is step forward for the state, despite his apparent conservative bona fides.

I want a candidate that offers me the chance to vote FOR someone, rather than against. Some far, the potential challengers I have heard mentioned could only get my vote because they aren't McCain. Not enough of a selling point to take & hold the seat

Despite his recent photo shoot for Playgirl, I believe his last name is still actually "Johnston"

If you have the spelling wrong he won't be able to find this post when he Google's himself.

Which you know he does.

$10 to the first person that can come up with a coherent argument as to how this number would have been better with a Republican in office. Another 10$ to the first person that can even explain how long this economic collapse has been coming.
