    TX 10: Larry Joe's Craigslist Ad

    State Rep Dawnna Dukes, D-Austin, isn't the only candidate using CraigsList to find campaign workers.

    Congressional candidate Larry Joe Doherty is also advertising on trusty CraigsList. LJD is in a Democratic primary battle against Dan Grant for a chance to take on US Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Austin, for his seat.

    We know Dukes is offering $8/hr, but LJD's ad says to call for compensation details. Hope it's a competitive rate, canvassers seem to be in demand.

    Hm. One good Democrat in the 10th district's northern western climes uses students in his "campaign academy." Yet another reaches out personally to potential supporters.

    LJD's idea of outreach is to flip a potential supporter a fundraising flier and mutter "hope you'll come to mah fundraiser." No wonder he needs to pay people to volunteer for his campaign.

    Poor Larry Joe.

    He's all hat and no personality.
