Weekend Recap and an Observation
We received a Go Nick Go update from the folks over at Reid for Congress, part of which stated,
This weekend we observed the 4th of July holiday, and all over the district celebrations and festivals were held to commemorate our nation’s birthday. If you attended one of these events chances are that you saw a member of the ‘Go Nick Go’ Team, as staff and volunteers covered 25 events in 14 counties this weekend.
We asked a few friends around the district to confirm this and got reports that every event they were at, Reid for Congress had a presence. If the 25 events are accurate, which we have no reason to believe is anything but accurate, that's an impressive undertaking by Reid. It also means that Reid for Congress made an impression on more than 20,000 people.
So, we asked if they saw Jeff Tyberg or his volunteers at any event. No one saw Jeff or his campaign.
Soooo, then we got an e-mail from a tipster who said he was at a meeting where Tyberg sent a representative. The representative said that Tyberg was still running but that he was leading a short term missions trip right now.
There's the recap, here's the observation:
We at Obey Out all go to church. We think it's right and good to do for other people both at home and abroad. We applaud Jeff Tyberg's commitment to his beliefs and his convictions.
However, this blog is about beating Dave Obey this fall and we're more than a little perplexed as to how serious you can be about running for Congress when you pull a disappearing act the one weekend out of the year where you can shake the most hands across the 7th District.

The answer to your observation is Jeff Tyberg doesn't have a clue what it means to run for Congress. Nice guy, good values . . . I'm glad he's a Republican, but not a shred of a clue.
Seriously, at this point, Tyberg gives no reason to be taken seriously. Obey Out should endorse Tyberg and ignore Tyberg until he announces that he is withdrawing from the race.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I should be tarred and feathered!
Endorse Reid! Endorse Reid!
This is worse than when I accidentally voted for Tyberg in an online poll.
There were more than 20,000 at the Tomahawk parade alone!!!! Way to go Nick. Absolutley Awesome!
Wow, I can't believe that at this point anyone rational still supports Jeff. Over the past several weeks two blogs have begged his supporters to give a rational reason why he should be supported and none has been given. And now this, leaving the USA on the 4th of July. Endorse Reid, and do it now.
