Mike speaks!

Tired of waiting to find out the final result in the ACT election, and unaccustomed as I am to checking the Canberra Times website, I couldn't help myself. I sent Mike an email.

Hi Mike, I only discovered your campaign very late in the piece and I have written about you at my weblog.

You may be surprised at your near universal appeal among female Canberra bloggers of my acquaintance! Last I saw you were a couple of hundred votes up - we are all thinking of you at what must be a difficult time.

If you are interested, you can check it out at http://crazybrave.blogspot.com/2004/10/we-like-our-mike.html

Cheers,

I restrained myself to one exclamation mark. But Mike answered! Exclamation mark!

I'm too cool for school to just plunk his email up here, having not checked with him or anything, but here's a precis:

- Mike is pretty stoked with the admiration coming from Canberra girl bloggers
- Mike is sick of waiting for the final countdown (doot do doo doo ..., etc)
- Mike is sad (OK, my word) that he couldn't meet (OK, doorknock) me in person and all
- One little quote "If the votes come in right, I look forward to future e-mails as your MLA."

Me too, Mike, me too. But I promise I will leave you alone now. Best of luck, buddy.
