Is Bagwell "Having Fun" yet?

On the web site PUREPOLITICS.COM there's a lengthy interview with web site entrepreneur Tim Bagwell on a page titled "Tim Bagwell 'Have Fun'", but there's no mention of fun, nor was it much fun to read. As previously noted in this blog, Tim is a web site entrepreneur who says he'll farm out his web sites if he is elected, to avoid conflict of interest. It appears that PurePolitics.Com is one of Tim's web sites. To be fair, shouldn't it include an interview with his opponent John Shimkus?

Tim was interviewed this morning on WJPF -- by Rick Gregg, in the absence of regular host Cap Miller. Bagwell's message is unabashedly liberal, which may not play well in this conservative region. He thinks the most important thing he will do if elected is "negotiating" for District 19 (stretching from Springfield to Massaac County - the largest in the State and the 3rd largest east of the Mississippi River). Ideology should take a back seat to the region's economic growth, he says.

Jobs and Environmental tourism. National Health Insurance.

Presumably he'll have the coat-tails of two tall skinny guys to ride, but he'll need to sharpen his message, if he wants to overcome his Republican opponent's experience.

If Bagwell farms-out his web sites when elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, this blog must support his candidacy, in hope he'll send jobs to Shawnee Network, "for people with roots and branches in Southern Illinois."

Shimkus's national security experience won't put low-carb bread on the table.

Hello.

This is PurePolitics.com, LLC based out of Atlanta, GA. We wanted to let you know that PurePolitics.com interviews candidates from across the country. We made a request to interview Mr. Shimkus but got no response.

Thank you.
