Well, I don’t know if Kilroy was trying to put one over on her constituants, but she got national attention. CombatEffective.us (obvious plug) also took note.

Precious,

It was the Hilliard parade. Kilroy wasn’t here.

Reading that last comment made my brain hurt.

I disagree when you’re trying to cover 4 couinties at once and there are five parades on one day you do what you have to do there is nothing wrong with doing that. Ither candidates campaigns do it also such as Scguring and Boccieri the last two parades I did had cars for both of those candidates but neitherone showed up to either parade. It goes both ways but we don’t cause a stink about any old man looking like Kirk Schuring.

Send them to the parades? Sure. Pass out stickers. Hand out balloons. But you shouldn’t take a spot in the parade route unless you have the candidate with you.

Now I’m not saying the campaigns you help on don’t do that, I’m just saying you shouldn’t. It looks bad and is unprofessional.

Actually you absolutely send people to parades you can’t go to it’s called name recognition and visibility. And in North East Ohio people candidates usually don’t walk in the bigger parades that way everyone can see them ride by. And obviously we do different parades because I see people get in the car all the time

Anthony, I don’t know what candidates you’re helping out, other than Kilroy, but that is just plain ridiculous.

1. True, but the ones you can’t make you don’t send people to, especially in a structure that implies the candidate is there. That’s just dumb.

2. No. The candidate should be walking.

3. In all the parades I’ve done I’ve never seen that happen. If people can’t make it they either don’t start in the first place or drop off. And times when that has happened I can count on one hand.

4. wha’?

I’ve done 6 parades so far this year in 4 different counties and have been able to make some observations that prove true what Kilroys campaign is saying.
1. Candidates cannot always go to every parade
2. If a candidate is riding in a car they usually sit on top of the car not in the backseat
3. Some volunteers get winded halfway into a parade and ride in the car the rest of the way
4. Many a time people want to volunteer but cannot walk the parade and they sit in the car waving flags/waving to people

The more I watch that video the more funny it gets.

That can’t just be a volunteer who got tired, she is in that car waiving all the way down the road.

How arrogant is this Kilroy?

IMO, this was clearly set up.

A good creative mind could have alot of fun with this.
