    ePluribus radio interview on "Heading Left" of candidate Manley in OK1

    Peace candidate wins 44% in OK1

    Manley, the anti-war pro-peace candidate, did very respectably in yesterday's election, winning 44% of the vote.

    Plus, we had the satisfaction --on a budget of only $2000, all of it clean money devoid of PACs corporations or interest groups-- of driving the conservative democrat (running on god-only-knows what policy positions) into debt to the tune of $37,000. (Best estimate, by the Manley campaign manager about the Oliver budget. The Oliver budget went into the RED, somewhat irresponsibly.)

    As expected by his campaigners, the pro-impeachment candidate succeeded in firing up the base of the party to come out and vote for him.

    For Manley to have come within spitting distance of the other contender bodes well for future candidates running on a similar platform of peace, universal healthcare, and anti-corporatism.

    The limited budget and complete avoidance of mass media radio/TV spots by the Manley campaign also suggests that candidates of lesser means can still be competitive, and that at minimum, a grassroots & netroots campaign can drive the other candidate into debt, by running a candidate who actually reflects the values of the party's electorate, in populist fashion, running as a progressive candidate on policy planks that actually matter to the average citizen.

    Oliver is welcome to borrow as many planks as she wants from Manley's platform, in order to reflect the 44% of the Oklahoma 1st District Democrats who agree with Manley's policy positions. If this race succeeds in persuading the nominee to move to the Left in her policy positions, it will have been worth the effort.
