Vernon Robinson: Never say never
Vernon Robinson called the other day. The failed GOP challenger to Democrat Brad Miller in the 13th District can be so downright personable one-on-one, you forget (for a moment) he's the architect of such gleefully venomous campaign ads.
For the record, Robinson said, an AP report that he would not run again for elective office got it wrong. He never says never. .
I wouldn't believe him even if did say he'd never run again. Robinson seems undaunted by his track record in elections. Although he has won election only to a seat on the Winston-Salem City Council (which he also lost in a re-election bid) Robinson keeps on running for things.
He seems to like campaigning in much the same way some people like window shopping. The thrill is in the hunt.
Meanwhile, Robinson says he's content to concentrate on helping other Republicans leverage the Internet as a campaign -- a strategy he has used very, very effectively for himself.

That is not true. He is only effective in raising money. His internet stuff is not as great as he hoped. Trust me, I know. We worked on it at my house. I like Vernon. However, he needs to run the funding and let his wife to the running.
