Well - finally in his own words.

The supplied video has finally been processed. Think of this as B roll. The introduction of Mr Nachbar to a Democratic Committee. As you watch this clip or any others I’ll eventually post - listen for passion, fire, dedication, empathy, heart, and desire. If you hear it, let me know.

In this 6 minute clip, after Mr Nachbar thanks the committee for hosting him, he answers why he is running.

My summary is below:

He baits the hook with this quote, “…that usually one starts in politics and that leads to a good job.. especially lobbyist type jobs”, and lets the line out with his point, that in his career he has been in Human Resources where he continually listens to people’s stories, dreams and potential that they have.

Then he starts to reel in the audience with, he is doing this because there is a need for all of us to serve the country. Off to a list of statements - numbers of Americans w/o Health care, middle class is squeezed, debt load of the family, high gas prices, and a list of the rest of standard campaign issues.

“I want to be your strong voice in Washington…So, if you hire me for this job, that is what I’ll do every hour of each day”.

OK - my voice in Washington. Just a couple of quick thoughts. My voice had better understand where I’m coming from. My middle class needs, my hopes and desires, and had better not take me for granted.

Why Nachbar instead of Kuhl

I don’t want to spend a lot of time here because in my assessment Randy is an easy target of a Democratic opponent. But - Dems and Republicans like Randy’s town Hall meetings. Dems don’t like Randy’s coy evasiveness, but this Dem appreciates that he at least shows up. So, on to the standard Randy bashing - Randy’s town halls, not listening to people, He gets it wrong, the length of Randy Kuhl’s meetings - corrected mid-sentence that Randy spent 1 hour in Brighton instead of the purported 20 mins.

Finally he gets to what he wants to do.

The promise

Create opportunity, great paying jobs, access to health care, improvements in schools, security needs, keeping high school graduates, Iraq, and accountability.
He closes with what he believes his strengths are, delivering results. All his life it is about delivering results for people.

OK - the line has been cast, he is reeling it in, but I think he is forgetting who he is really talking to.

What did you hear from this very introductory clip ? Answers to specific questions will come later this week.
