It's been a very busy week. The members of my campaign team and I are feeling some momentum build behind us, and it's quite a rush.

Folks in the media like to ask me how I like campaigning. I get the sense that they're implying that I can't hack the political side of public policy making.

But I love it! I tell them that it feels liberating.

I can finally say exactly what I think without having to worry about whether or not I've made the mayor or the City Council angry.

I can finally talk directly to my real bosses, the people of Kansas City.

Anyway, it's been a busy week. Here's a sampling of the media attention our campaign has gotten:
