ashley swearengin, fresno mayoral candidate

UPDATE! UPDATE: so, it turns out that i spelled the candidate's name wrong in an earlier post, and so if you spell it wrong like that i'll be the #3 hit. her name is now fixed on this blog. and, if you google her name properly, you come up with her site first. which makes the rest of this post irrelevant.

does ashley swearengin, candidate for fresno's mayor have a website? if so, you won't find it by googling her name. what you will find first is a post on fresno famous. the number 3 result, my blog. that's pretty sad when you're candidate for mayor of a city of a half million or so people and people find my blog when they're looking for your website.

btw, her website is ashley4mayor.com. to finally find it, i had to search "ashley swearingen (yes, spelled wrong) for mayor fresno" and it didn't even take me to the front page of her site.

candidates, step your game up. it's a new world, and teh internets is going to play an ever increasing role in campaigns.

btw, if you search henry t. perea his campaign site is the first result.

henry t perea & ashley swearingen podcast

the bee scooped tvlgfhf by actually asking and getting the mayoral candidates on a podcast. i'm listening right now, and man, it's a little slow starting but around 18 minutes in it really starts to hit, especially dealing w/prop 8.

when you've got an hour, give it a listen.

(and maybe i'll update some thoughts later.)

maybe i'm biased, but henry t is crushing swearingen right now.
