I went with Chesney, but Daniel Imperato and Webster Brooks definitely deserve a look as well.
Something about Imperato just doesn't seem right to me. Why is it that he is always stiff in all of his webcasts? And why is that a multi-millonaire businessman can't latch a more well known VP. Something about him just seems to slick (other than his hair that is).
We could start with him not being a famous multi millionaire. I think Brooks has great potential as a vp, and would have been a great presidential candidate had he continued his campaign. He seems to have better campaign structure than Chesney and would probably be viewed as a more credible and qualified candidate. I do agree, though, his speeches need work.
I like Wyatt Chesney, but his campaign needs a lot of work. All we have is a picture and a freewebs website. No news articles available online, no campaign photos, no campaign structure. And I'll be frank, it leaves one to wonder what the deal is with it, it's kind of sketchy.
Also, I think George Phillies is a decent candidate and probably the Libertarians' best shot to expand their voter base, even if he is a little "nerdy". I would consider voting for him.
I guess you just have to keep in mind that it's early. If Chesney's campaign is still this limp come late 2007 - then I would be concerned. I think everyone who is starting this early is trying to put a base together. I always wait until right before election year befire I start seriously critiquing candidates.
Also, have you see this Chesney site http://www.freewebs.com/ivotedcobb it at least has news articles on the guy.
Yes, as a matter of fact, I have seen his site. I am very familiar with the campaign as a Reform Party message board poster. But it stands out that he hasn't been covered in any local press. Or rather, any press coverage that is available online. It's like he's not even there. On the other hand, Imperato has been very vocal in his campaign. I'll give you that he uses a lot of free PR sites, and they get the job done, but I have also seen articles about him in other Florida newspapers. At least he makes it obvious that he's there.
Also, I'll bring it up again. He has a freewebs website. He promised to get up a new website on a real domain and hasn't come through. And what's up with "ivotedcobb"? According to wikipedia, Wyatt Chesney voted for Nader. Who's running the website? There's a few people trying to get the word out, but they aren't getting much back IMO. It's a very empty campaign.
I disagree about waiting a year or whatever as well, if a candidate is going to declare their campaign and start running in 2006, they should be expected to be scrutinized in 2006.
