Team Garin Collects 2,800 signatures

Paulette Garin officially declared her candidacy for the U.S. House of Representatives in Wisconsin’s First Congressional District. Her campaign submitted 2,800 signatures to the State Election Board, 1,800 more than needed to place her name on the fall election ballot.

Garin Blog Excerpt:
2008 is the year we unseat our GOP incumbent in the 1st CD. We will never have a better opportunity to attach him and his voting record to the failure of our president and his failed administration. While it is energizing to bash our GOP incumbent, ultimately, it is not about him. It is about us. It’s about the future. What do we want? What do we value? And what are we willing to sacrifice in order to achieve it? -- Paulette Garin

Either you're on the ballot or you're not. Too much time getting signatures and not enough raising money. It's a sign of an amaturish campaign. Ryan would eat her alive!

I say Marge Krupp is the best given she has more than enough to get on the ballot and spent serious time raising the money she'll need to fight off Ryan. Plus she is the only FULL TIME candidate in 10 years.

Garin holding meeting's in the middle of Ryan's hometown is a smart if not gutsy move. She's bringing her message to the people she must convince. Where are the other candidates?
