I believe he will quickly be relegated to the 2nd tier of candidates for this office along with Dave Funk (who might of self destructed his own campaign with a poor interview with CaffinatedThoughts.com on November 17 where among other gaffs the former flat taxer introduced a new Project Destiny like consumption tax as a part of his tax policy). It is not surprising Gibbons announces today with NO website, no way to contact him, no way to donate, and no way to volunteer for his campaign. This is clearly the work of a rookie campaign, which does not bode well. Clearly, this race needs an exprienced candidate with outstanding conservative credentials. This development makes it even more likely a top tier candidate like Senator Brad Zaun, with great metro popularity, a tested message, a very experienced campaign team, and a firm record in the party will enter the race.
