Print is so last century, unfortunately Terrific succinct script. Fancy mansion visual. Good communicator! Even the way Maurice was bending over to "fit" was a good image for the outsider that we voters have become. One had to remind oneself that he was the legitimate visitor to Fort Orange Club. What is the meaning of that name? Great idea to make a video. Print is so last century, unfortunately
Terrific succinct script.
Fancy mansion visual. Good communicator! Even the
way Maurice was bending over to “fit” was a good image for
the outsider that we voters have become. One had to remind oneself that he was the legitimate visitor to Fort Orange Club.
What is the meaning of that name?

They already have name recognition. It's challengers that need money to compete. Public financing of elections would give even more of an advantage to incumbents. They already have name recognition.
