The Arizona Senator and Republican presidential nominee is a busy man. How do I know? I just tried calling two of his California-based offices for a story I am working on and got busy signals. Who gets a busy signal these days.
The article is about how the national candidates, Obama and McCain, are targeting Barstow (if they are at all) or what they can offer small towns like Barstow.
To be fair, I also called Obama’s California Headquarters. The woman who answered the phone said to call back at 11 a.m. because the whole office was in a staff meeting. Unfortunately, I have a staff meeting of my own at 11.
If you are working for one of the campaigns locally, please give me a call or shoot me an e-mail. I’d love to talk to someone on the front lines of the campaign in Barstow.
