It feels really weird to be as involved as we are now in local politics. Five years ago I couldn’t give two shits about the whole thing, yet here I am, writing about and supporting local politicians. The times, they are a’changin’.

AT has been even more involved than myself. Outside of posting on this site and the occassional comment on other sites, he was asked to work some bugs out of David Stuart’s blog. That, combined with his endorsement of Stuart on the ‘tumor the other day warranted favorable remarks from Stuart to a third party.

This morning, after I voted, I saw a woman sitting in the bed of a truck with a Stuart sign. I spoke with her for a few minutes and then sort of spontaneously gave her AT’s phone number to pass on to Stuart. I mentioned what AT had done and said for and about Stuart and she said she’d pass on the message.

Well, she did, and about an hour later, Stuart gave AT a call. I didn’t really see that coming, at least not on election day. I thought he’d have more pressing matters to attend to, but I guess today all there is to do is wait and wait some more. No amount of politicking is going to change minds at the voting booth.

AT was a little flabbergasted about the whole thing and said that Stuart had called perhaps thinking that AT had something specific he wished to talk with him about. Not being the case, they had a short but polite conversation and went about their day. But it’s nice to know that Stuart took time out of an assuredly busy schedule to call some nut-job blogger. Kudos to you, sir.
