Way back on February 14, we took a look at State Senator Randy Brock's campaign website. At the time, it was in a woeful state: very little content, obvious typos like this one:
We need to continue to encourage the development of new, green initiatives maintain our position on the leading edge of innovation for new, green initiatives for cost-effective alternative energy sources.
Well, it's been a good six weeks. And what's happening over at Randy Brock's 21st-Century digital headquarters?
Absolutely jack sh*t. Same rudimentary content, same typos. The above “green energy” statement remains embarrassingly unchanged. His “background” page still prominently features his experience as state auditor. (Including a photo of him in the Auditor's office, back in his pre-Tom Salmon salad days.) And if “I used to be Auditor, but I got beat by Tom Salmon” is his best argument for being elected Governor, then Peter Shumlin really has nothing to worry about.
The “News” page contains precisely one entry: his campaign announcement on December 7. Apparently he's made no news in the three-and-a-half months since then. Worse, his Facebook page hasn't been updated since February 4, when he announced that he'd be attending “the Windson County Super Bowl Party.” Yep, “Windson.” Vermont's little-known eleventh fifteenth county*.
Neither website nor Facebook page includes any information about his exciting new campaign team. Don't know what they've been up to since their hiring was announced on March 19, but they sure haven't done anything about the campaign's pathetic Web presence.
*Late correction, pardon the geographic error. For those who find it ironic that I'd have a typo in a diary about Randy Brock's typos, well, all I can say is that my budget is even smaller than his.
I thought you were being ironic with the 11th county comment.

Please enlighten me.
Why is this worth a topic of discussion on GMD?
It’s been ten days since he crack staff have been hired, if they don’t change the site in the next few days or a week…
And now jvwalt calls ’em out. It’ll be interesting to see how long it takes them to get around to it.
