Why it’s okay to be Independent
July 31, 2008
I tend to receive a lot of emails like the following or, at least, with similar themes. Personally, I don’t have the desire to be officially affiliated with any political party. Of course, that could change in the future, but for now I enjoy being 100% “unattached.” This will be the last question I answer from TheCandidacy.com Mailbox until we decide to do so again or somebody sends a question I’m dying to answer publicly - whichever comes first.

Is the New Yorker Cover of Obama Satirical?
July 30, 2008
When we originally started TheCandidacy.com mailbox feature our goal was to answer one or two questions a month in the form of posts. However, due to the overwhelming number of inquiries we receive, we’ve decided to answer a few questions directly. If your question is not answered in the form of a post, directly like today’s format, or via a personal email…well…it probably wasn’t a very good question, but feel free to keep trying.
Here’s today’s question:
Are you not going to comment at all on the The New Yorker
on your blog? Come on! I want to know what you think! - Adrielle in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
Calling all Guest Bloggers
May 30, 2008
Good morning! Today’s post has two objectives. First, the COS and I would like to take a moment to thank each and every one of our readers. Today marks four months since TheCandidacy.com opened for business and by all measurements things have been looking up ever since. And I mean real momentum, not Hillary Clinton pseudo-momentum where we are actually failing by every measure. Second, we’d like to get you personally involved. Yes, that means you.
We receive the occasional email asking how we select our guest bloggers like Kenza, Dick Miller, Chiri, and Mr. Lu. Well, the answer is simple – we don’t. In reality, we find each other. Sometimes the idea originates at TheCandidacy and other times our guest bloggers are driven by their own creativity, anger, frustration or bliss (not yet bliss, but we’re hopeful). So, if you’ve ever wanted to “blog for a day” your opportunity is finally here. Read more

Welcome to the first installation of TheCandidacy Mailbox. This is when I answer questions and address comments made by our readers. These questions were received prior to the official posting of our privacy policy. Therefore, I have not included the identities of those who have made inquiries or commented, however, I assure you they are all real. Here we go!! Read more
TheCandidacy.com Mailbox
April 10, 2008
This is a public mailbox not too far from where I live in Santo Domingo. It sits just outside of the Plaza de la Cultura (Cultural Plaza) which hosts the Dominican Republic’s major museums and National Theatre. Needless to say, people don’t use the public mail system. Just last week I received a “priority airmail” letter from the U.S. that reached the country in one day and then took 35 more days to find its way to my house. Luckily, here at TheCandidacy.com, we use a much more sophisticated system. It’s called email and we get a lot more of them than you might think. Read more
