She apparently needs help. From my inbox:Dear Precinct Captains and other Republicans of BV: You have probably heard people already declare that Obama has won the election, even Reps and Christians are saying it! Some are even voting for Obama. Maybe even you said or thought of it too. No wonder with all we hear from the mainstream news. Please remember parts in the Bible when God's people were few BUT God was with them? Like in Joshua? They won, Supernaturally. And it says that Life and Death are in the power of the Tongue...what we SAY has power. Just look at hypochondriacs. A year and a half ago it looked realllly bad for us financially, like we'd lose our dream home and property and 2 days before it happened...it came to me....and I yelled out to the kids, "Kids, let's clean house!" They wanted to know why. I told them, "Because we need to get ready for many parties we'll be having soon." We did not lose our home or property afterall. God made an out for us. I could go on but just will say now that, no matter what it looks like or how you feel, immediately dismiss any negative thoughts about losing, and only SPEAK words that declare that all Republicans WIN. OK? Just do it and you WILL see an immediate difference in our social and spiritual climate. Not a Christian? Doesn't matter, it still works. But yes, you still DO need to know God in a personal way. Just ask Him to make Himself real to you. Don't worry, I won't be preaching any more. It is just that I care about you too much to not say what I just did. We are in a Civil War here in America, but we are not fighting man to man, but this war is a spiritual one. Just observe the face and body language of those who hate us without even knowing us.
OK, God interupted me, ha.....back to my original plan to tell you.... At this point, the email goes on to ask the recipient to make phone calls -- and how to get their list of voters if they can't handle their voter file.
Impressive stuff.
Update -- Another GOP reader writes: Subject: Could be the best vote I cast
Denise Juneau. And I did it gladly.
When ESH ran in 2000, she was referred to as 'Elaine Holy Sermon' by the other campaigns. Her campaign floundered when she advocated lining up students and shooting them.
A good friend of mine noted her billboard signs are the same color scheme as the 'Teasers' sign near Three Forks. No irony there.
Update 2 -- Just to clarify, after looking more closely at the first email, it appears not to come from Elaine, but from a strong supporter of hers. Still a very bizarre email.

Wow. Too weird for words. I find myself agreeing with these words from today's article on Elaine Sollie Herman:Herman's Web site lists one child, a daughter born in 1976.
"It's not appropriate to bring up my daughter in this campaign," she said. "If you bring my daughter into this election, I will really, really be upset. No one wants their daughter brought into an election for dirty campaigning." That's true. What kind of outrageous stunt is this? Dragging the woman's family into the campaign through dirty tricks? Who would do such a thing?Herman said the Web page is not hers.
"That was my daughter who wrote that - she lives in Seattle," said Herman. "I didn't do it. I had nothing to do with it. I am not a young girl looking for meet-ups in Puyallup." Wait, you mean Herman brought her daughter into the campaign?
Crazy.
Also, apparently it isn't a big deal that she/her daughter/someone just described Denise Juneau as "a young Indian" since that clearly means that those darn libruls see "Indian" as an insult. Meanwhile, Dave Rye is calling Denise Juneau a "professional Indian." I suppose anyone taking offense at that would have to have a problem with professionals or Indians.
Dave Rye is a professional aggrieved white man and a an amateur douchebag (although he silver medaled in the event at the Olympics, I think).
It really is fascinating how the right loves to inject race into this shit and then get all whiny when they get called on it. I talked to Denise a while ago about her campaign and how people seem to always reduce her campaign to Indian Education for All.
Look, Indian Education for All is a good thing. I support it. I'm glad that Denise has been administering it and learning executive skills in the process, but it isn't exactly central to the campaign that she has been running.
The front page of her campaign web site doesn't mention "Indian" or "Native" once. It does mention, however, her high marks from both the Great Falls Tribune (which compares her favorably with two decades worth of candidates) and the Billings Gazette.
The Gazette goes so far as to note her "excellent resume," a pretty good indication for people who listen to Dave Rye that the resume probably reads more than "Professional Indian, 1995-Present."
She's also praised by both for her intelligence.
Meanwhile, Elaine Sollie Herman (or her daughter) can't even spell "conservative." That's edacution we can beleie in, my fiends!

Wow. Denise Juneau is pulling over 75% of the vote in the 4-way OPI straw poll.
That's huge. Her strongest opponent is picking up 1/6 of the votes she is. She is getting 3 times the support of all 3 of her opponents combined.
Crazy.
I'll be writing up my thoughts on the primary soon -- not who I'm voting for, but some things to watch for, things to be aware of, etc.
Jay is still plugging away on some candidate interviews -- and by all means, I would recommend folks study these candidates and figure out whom they prefer.
But those numbers have to give the Juneau campaign some good cause for hope. Even as a tiny sample of the Democratic base, those are extremely positive numbers. The AG race, by comparison, very much showed a three-way contest.

During the election season many of us who post here have many interests in mind. We have the people, issues, and organizations we all support. The most important thing we do is verbalize that. We are entitled to our form of free speech, and opinion. Sometimes it gets heated, and that can be healthy. I'd like to ask you all to raise the bar a little bit. If you work for an organization or candidate it is appropriate to make that fact known. It only helps your candidate and builds your integrity.
Here are a coupld of examples. Julianna posts for NARAL and makes that fact known. Barrett Kaiser posts for Senator Baucus and makes that fact known. Matt Singer plugs for Forward Montana and of course makes that known. The other day a person posted a comment on the story: "Nancy Keenan Endorses Denise Juneau". smartinMT forgot to include in his rant that he works for Holly Raser. Please use a little integrity, smartinMT, and make sure you are doing more to help Ms. Raser and not hinder her.
For those of you that do disclose keep up the good work.

Sam Kitzenberg has announced his candidacy for Superintendent of Public Instruction. Sam's a solid public service with a long track record on education issues. He's a great addition to an already-strong field.
No idea if he's got a website up now.
