Then I read today (I think it was ER), that CREG has a different spokesperson, not Larry anymore.<BR/><BR/>So, what's up? Ron is now "distancing himself" from Local Solutions, but when they endorsed him he said ”I'm pleased to receive the endorsement of an organization such as Local Solutions, an organization that I think I share common values with,” (got that from the Press/News link on his web page)<BR/><BR/>and now Larry does this complete flip flop on the Home Depot issue. From being leader of CREG, now "not necessarily against" Home Depot..... <BR/><BR/>Did they get some poll data or something that makes them think they need to change their message to get more votes? That seems so shifty to me. Change your message and your stand mid-stream in the election. Why do that? Who are you then, anyway?
