Apparently unswayed by the overwhelming majority of the rank-and-file members of the Democratic party that did not offer their support the Mike Miles campaign will go on. Here is the email that was sent out earlier today.

Dave Winer says today "It's a sick thing to define yourself in terms of the misery you think you're creating." It makes me think about people I know who define themselves by trying to ensure everyone around them conforms to their world views and end up alienating people because they don't even understand how condescending and "I'll prove I'm better than you are," they come across to others. I usually think to myself "how sad your world must be."

Indeed Miles is doing much the same thing as so many candidates who are new to politics have tried - many unsuccessfully. Read more about Miles campaign talking points
