One way to get a sense of a campaign is to look at where and how the candidate campaigns. It's still early in the campaign season, so many calendars are skimpy, but when you look at the calendar for the Gov. Jim Douglas campaign, you are directed to check his official schedule. The link is provided.

Whoa. That fuzzes the line between official duties and running for re-election, don't you think? When asked that question, Dennise Casey, campaign manager, replied, "The reason we would put that up there is so the greatest number of people learn more about the governor. We want to make sure folks have an opportunity to hear the governor."

Casey promises campaign events will eventually be listed on the Web site, too.
