Tom McInerney is a busy guy – way way too busy to respond to an item I posted more than THREE WEEKS AGO (Web Link) that questioned his credibility as a self-described ‘progressive’ candidate.

Why has McInerney been too busy to address his credibility issue? One reason is obvious: he has been working hard raising more than $28,000 for his campaign, and spending more than $20,000 on four or five direct mail pieces, political signs, and almost daily banner ads on this website. (Pacific Sun editor: how much has McInerney spent advertising on this site?)

If McInerney wins 2000 votes (enough to get elected, he will have spent $10 PER VOTE to do a part-time gig that pays $299 per month. Yes, folks, that equates to a dizzying $3588 per year -- ridiculous chump change for a guy who makes more than that in a few hours advising America’s corporate elite.

McInerney’s campaign math makes no sense unless McInerney is focused on a much bigger prize that a spot on the San Anselmo Council -– Marin County supervisor, state representative, state senator, or the next President of these corporate-controlled American states.
