3/31号那天，Chuck Page 忽然出现在反SCA5的28群里，大家都不相信是真的。他确认是他本人后，由LY主导，和Chuck在28群里像朋友一样聊了一个晚上。对话相当精彩！
第二天一早，我写下：昨晚观看＂围炉夜话＂，让我感觉像在梦中一样。早起看见满屏留下的各种智慧的理性的言语，让我颇为感叹：没想到Chuck会进到我们的小圈子里来和我们对话；没想到LY在没有任何准备的情况下能问出那么多理性而直率的问题；没想到Chuck的理念和想法和我们许多人如此相近；没想到所有人都很enjoy，呼朋唤友地进来观摩......
大家可以看出，Chuck是一个非常有智慧，愿意去面对问题，解决问题，很温和共和党人。他现在正在为他的选举筹款（离目标还有点远），如果看完他的采访，你喜欢他，请捐出一点钱来支持他，帮帮他，帮他实现他的梦想 --- 在第一阶段，成功胜出加州28区众议员的初选。其实，帮他就是帮助我们自己，帮助加州成为政治生态更平衡的地方，更能凸显民主的真谛。

因为谈话很长，我会分7篇发出。不要错过任何一篇哦！
Section 5: Campaign Outlook
LY
This is easy question -- How much money you need eventually to defeat Evan Low? And what's your projected chance in primary and final election? You understand that "independent" Chuck Welsh lost by big margin challenging Paul Fong in last election.
Chuck
I don't raise money for the sake of raising money. I think I'm m about $30-40K. My goal is to raise $150K by the end of next week. Def. going well, I could sure use more, though. Sooner I get it I. The sooner I get to the next phase
OK - realistic and practical view of the elections:
Nov election - Page vs Low - low will have lots of money. Will still have a lower Dem turnout because it's not a presidential election and there are lots of issues - millions still without healthcare, still increasing cost of individual health insurance, corruption. In Dem party at state level., many Dems affected by those issues in AD28 are very fiscally conservative and the candidate that shows that had very good chance of winning. I do not spend extravagantly and detest the amount of $$ spent on elections. Something needs to change. I can win in Nov with $350K, more media coverage the more I get above that. Voters in this election really need to be thinking - and voting - for the candidate that can beat low in Nov.
