As you know my good friend Jack Spirko works for a search engine optimization firm. The other day he announced he’d be running for the Texas House of Representatives.

I guess the deal is that the incumbent has pulled some pretty dumb moves lately and everyone wants change in the district. Some of Jack’s friends suggested he run for office. Jack decided, “Hey, why not!” so now he’s running for Texas House District 94.

Jack’s still working on his web site but I’m sure it will be interesting to watch how a search engine guy markets his election campaign on the internet. If you thought Howard Dean’s MoveOn.org campaign was powerful I bet Jack’s will be even better.

I’ll post here occasionally and let you guys know what cool and unique ways Jack comes up with for marketing his election campaign.

As a former poly sci. major I’m pretty excited to follow along and see how it works out. Hey, maybe when he becomes President some day I can be a member of his cabinet? What cabinet post would I be suited for?
