I think we should start a calling campaign to Dave Friend's office until Daniel gets a formal apology. lol!

The sliver of blue in the ‘no’ and ‘don’t care’ boxes is markedly larger than last week’s attempt at licentiousness. But still the ‘yes’s have it in an overwhelming majority. This guy needs a life and a job at APAC. Not the mayorship. Mini-update: I got a letter into the public pulse making a pun out of one of Friend's links (In Action = Inaction). Well anyway, while I was on the phone with the pulse girl, I told her about us being blacklisted and asked her to tell one of the reporters. I am hoping that someone will get back to me soon! Cross your fingers!!! Chief asked me to post this here, also:

The only way he can make himself look good is to lie, and then when he's caught call people names. This is the most irresponsible handling of a campaign that I've seen (and keep in mind I was watching the Bush team very closely). He's lied on several occasions. We should all try to get this info out as much as possible. Start posting on other blogs and hopefully it'll reach the media. I think that it's also time for a editorial campaign to the World Herald. It also says something that some of the best reporting on this issue has been done on our website. Good job all, keep up the fight. Mr. Friend is treating this like a scared child.

Does Mr. Friend really think that he even has a chance at the mayorship?? NOOOO WAY. Ya know, it's people like him that create feelings of hate and disgust towards politics. Who here thinks we should have a HONEST mayor? and who here thinks that the honest candidate is Mike Fahey? Someone needs to email Friend and tell him that he's gonna get blown out fo the water in this election...maybe then he'd withdraw and save himself all the embarassment. ooooohmygod.

Friend webmaster email was really angry. Sure hope none of UNO Democrat members, supporters or folks who visited Friend's website from a link in this blog had sent vulgar, threatening or virus-infected emails to the Friend campaign...would seriously undermine chief's position. I'm sure UNO Democrats hold themselves to a much higher standard. Wow! Friend webmaster email was really angry.

I spoke with Chris Donnelly who is the Campaign Manager for Mike Friend. He told me there is a bug in the poll script. It was designed to only allow one vote per IP address. In reality it is only allowing one vote per network range. In other words, if one person on campus records a vote on the poll, no one else on campus will be able to vote. Chris said he was going to take the polls down until this problem is resolved. I also asked him about Bill Bollinger. He said Bill is a volunteer webmaster and is going to be reprimanded. Chis should be in contact with you soon. Kenton I read this blog entry and it got my ire up, so I made a call. I spoke with Chris Donnelly who is the Campaign Manager for Mike Friend.

The votes weren't done from campus, as only 4 of our 40 members live in dorms. They were made from Chicago (by my sister) from Dundee, from Millard, from Lincoln, from Council Bluffs. There is simply no "bug." Even if it was only recording votes from one area the results (99 to .5 to .5) would be impossible with only 60 votes. I'm glad you made the call Kenton, they told me the same thing. They are misinforme or lying. And "Spencer"- I have no idea what you are talking about. If any member of our group did something like that I would want to know who so that I could personally get mad at them. Though if they did, it would certainly not be as big news that a college kid played internet hanky-panky as the news that a staff member for a mayoral candidate broke the law while being vendictive against a college kid.
