Monday night, the Edwards Evolution Next Revolution group, formerly know as Edwards Evening News Roundup, the group of Edwards supporters that showed such heart and passion in support of John Edwards, endorsed our campaign here in Indiana and the campaigns of Gilda Reed and Larry Kissell.
I want to thank this great group of concerned citizens, and say a special thank you to sarahlane for taking the time to write that diary Monday night.
I was not available Monday night nor until late last night, and with the focus on the debate last night, I have waited until now to post this.
Last election cycle, our campaign was not given a chance, and yet through hard work we were able to gain 40% of the vote. This cycle, conventional wisdom is not giving us much of a chance and we are going to get 52% this cycle and we will win. If you look at the districts in Indiana that still have Republican representatives, we have the lowest number to overcome. We are running for a second time, and the others running in Indiana are in their first races. We are a good investment and provide good return on that investment. This cycle we will return the 6th District to Democratic representation.
Thank you all for reading this, and thank you once again fellow Edwards supporters, for your valued and humbling endorsement. Each endorsement, each small contribution, each email that is forwarded, they all add up, and they are all building blocks for the foundation of victory.
It is an honor to be in the first group of candidates endorsed by the Edwards supporters and in such great company with Gilda and Larry. Please consider becoming monthly reoccurring donors for all three of us, won’t you?
No one is unbeatable, no one is inevitable.
Now on to victory.
