blog categories

As of 9/14/08, I am organizing this blog using the categories below. Check the "label" tags on blog entries, these labels being organized alphabetically near the upper right of the blog.

Basics - intro material to myself, why I am running, general discussion of why one might want to vote for me, guiding fundamental moral and political views, etc.

Issues - discussion of my views on particular issues

Commentaries - thoughts on various things, mostly media items such as books, magazine articles, things I hear on video clips, etc. (hopefully these will help to see how I think and where I stand on various issues)

Administration - thoughts on how I would organize my administration
[ADDED 9/16/08: I've realized that I will probably write little, if anything, under this category. Since I obviously have no real shot at winning, I'm primarily focused on getting votes from those who think I have a good perspective on politics and political issues, one worth supporting through votes. I'm less focuses on getting votes from those who think I would actually be a good president (though I, of course, am happy to get such votes as well). Still, here and there I will also include things in support of the claim that I would be a good president. That's both because I think it's true, and because I also have the thought that maybe, after many election cycles, my running and continuing to run for president might someday actually give me a real shot.]

Interaction strategies - thoughts on what strategies I would employ as president when interacting with various kinds of individual and organizations: US citizens generally (mostly via various kinds of informational speeches), the media (of various sorts), Congress (including members with similar views to my own and those with very different views), other federal political bodies (FEMA, EPA, CIA, GAO, etc.), representatives of private partisan political organizations, individual experts on politically relevant subject matters, foreign leaders of all kinds, etc.

Campaign - notes on donations, volunteering, other sources of campaign info, any campaign events or speeches (if such come to pass), etc.

Blog organization - notes, like this one, on how the blog is organized, how the blog will change over time, and how to use it to find out what you're interested in

ADDED 9/20/08:

I have now added a category "updates", which will contain a single entry "updates and additions", which will list, by date, significant updates and additions to already existing blog entries.

I have now also added a category "flyers", where I will put some of my flyers.


ADDED 9/25/08:

I have now added a category "comments", which will contain a single entry "comments", which will list, by date, all comments I make on my own posts. I will do this as a way of responding to others who post comments, though how quickly I do this in any given case will be a function of many factors.
