just a virtual town hall meeting so we can continue to empower the voters
of Arkansas in the Democratic process. This will be to the 2006 Lt.
Governor's race what the talkathon was to Francis Cherry in 1952."
In 1952, Francis Cherry, then largely unknown statewide candidate for
Governor came from the back of a crowded field to win the Governorship
largely based on a new campaign technique called the Talkathon.
Pritt notes the creator and administrator of the site, Eric Grimm, was
instrumental already in helping another Democrat win earlier this year in
Virginia. Tim Kaine, the state's Lt. Governor, won a hard-fought race for
Governor, largely through a similar blog called Raising Kaine
