Okay, so Les Ford hasn’t made his public announcement that he’s running yet, but the rumors have been swirling for a while now.
Thanks to the wonders of Google and a keener sense of how the Internet works than most 60-ish politicians, Burg Life is proud to be a spoil sport and spill the beans on what appears to be a campaign website sitting in the wings ready to launch. You can check it at the following address: http://fordforharrisburg.com/
Good luck to you, Les! While we’re well aware that a website doesn’t make the man, your website looks like it was made a decade ago. Next step, Les, is to get yourself a little social networking going on. Might I suggest that thing called facebook?
PS — Electorate doesn’t have an “i”…
UPDATE: Les, what are you doing? You hide your page just when we start driving traffic to your site? What’s the point in that? The cat’s out of the bag, and once something hits the internet, its hard to take it back.
If you’re looking for Les Ford’s website, he has removed it from public view. Thanks to the wonders of Google Cache, you can still sort of view it at this link.
The site is not: “…ready to launch….”
The site is under development. It will launch soon. To quote Oscar Wilde: “The only thing worse than being talked about is, not being talked about.”
Now, in order to give the appearance of being “…fair and balanced…” go dog my opposition.
Regards,
Les Ford, Democrat
Candidate For Mayor
City of Harrisburg
Les,
Great to hear from you, and I’m happy to see that you noticed my little corner of the web.
Regarding your “esteemed” opponent. Never fear, I’ll sic the dogs on him. As far as I can tell, he doesn’t even have a website for me to rag on!
Ford the best car
I have been setting up a “Les Ford” for Mayor sign on the 12/1300 block of Front Street for several days. I finally took a hammer to it to keep it from blowing down but it was still knocked over… I took it to my house and put it up in my garden. If you can drop a couple of signs off at 1319 N. 2nd Street, I will try to keep them posted along Front Street and make sure they are righted every morning…
