Gene Seaman already running scared

10-year incumbent Rep. Gene Seaman may publicly say he's not worried about the challenge from first time candidate Lt. Cmd. Juan Garcia, but that's not what he's telling his inner circle. In a March 27, 2006 letter to previous donors, Seaman wrote that he is "engaged in a major fight" and exhorted them to "consider doubling or tripling your annual donation." Click here (letter.pdf) to see the actual letter.




Seaman has also been paying about $6,500 a month for three large commercial billboards bearing his likeness around the district, 10 months before the election. That is around $32,500 on freaking billboards in May.

Good thing he's not worried....

1. $32,500 for billboards? Shows you how lame his campaign is. Billboards

are only really cost effective at raising name identification (note to self: call Radnofsky campaign about getting up some billboards). A local robber-baron like Seaman ought to know his name is already sufficiently infamous in these parts. I bet he's getting the billboards at a less-than-market rate and failing to report that gratuitous portion of the billboard cost that he's not being charged as an in-kind contribution.

5. I pass by one of those billboards often.

It makes me sick to my stomach to see his giant picture on it. :puke:

2. Oh he's engaged in a fight all right

And I bet the man with fighting experience is going to take him down.

Go get'em Lt. Cmd. Garcia.
