    The answer is no.
    And we've had this discussion on here numerous times.

    Who is calling bullshit on this thread first?

    Well, fish, if you start it, the mods are either going to lock this threads or post something to say "who are we to question it?"

    I don't know what to say. In two questions he changed his entire post.

    He went from "In my capacity as a voter" to "I guess I was there as a professional then."

    Kind of a big difference, no?

    I thought I wasn't going to be considered going as a journalist, because I wasn't going to write a daily story off the event, just make contacts for the future stories. I eventually wrote an advance, coverage and follow-up story on the election.

    The event was free and open the public, so anyone could have gone, member of the public or media.
     
  7. I barely remember ever posting on this thread.

    Why do you keep it going?

    The question betrays a lack of understanding about how these campaigns work.

    You'll never get within 100 feet yards kilometers miles parsecs of an interview with that particular candidate.

    Try Dennis Kucinich.

    He is trying to explain himself because some posters were calling it bullshit...

    Also, he is probably trying to update us about what he did in the end.

    What's wrong with someone giving SJ posters an update?

    Write-brained, sorry but I don't think he has it set out to purposely keep this thread going....
     
  11. The month between each post is a bit discombobulating, that is all.

    And Mr. X, a journalist can't go to a political function as anything but a journalist. You are what you are.
     
  12. I gather the only thing likely to come of requesting an interview with Clinto via your elected contact is that that contact will heretofore regard you as a huckleberry.
