Running for Office: It's Like a Flamewar!

Running for Office: It's Like a Flamewar!

This guy has a very...interesting way of running:

Honestly, I like it. Going for the internet vote. I wouldn't use just this to make a decision, but it's an interesting approach.

While I don't necessarily agree with him on all his stances, he makes sense enough, and I like his style, so I donated. We'll see how those Kansas folks like it.

That is an awesome site. I love what he is trying to do. I like the donation gifts even better.
$500 - We'll send you a limited edition campaign t-shirt, a coffee mug with the Kansas flag on it, and a DVD video from Sean Tevis' mom telling you how wonderful you are, because you are.
Awesome.

Mr. Tevis has raised more than $95,000. Just thought you guys might be interested. (At the time of this posting the link did not require any sort of signup, I'm not sure if it will in the future or not).

This could cause a big backlash against him, with all the fundraising coming from outside the area.
