Bob Orr didn't have a campaign kickoff.
The Republican gubernatorial candidate basically began his campaign last year with a series of interviews with reporters (including Dome).
He never held the kind of bunting-and-bluegrass event typical of statewide campaigns. In an interview with the Burlington Times-News, Orr said that was by accident.
Orr says he mentioned that he had formed a campaign committee to an Associated Press editor in passing. A few hours later, word was out:
"I wish I had planned this out," Orr says later on the campaign trail. "It would have been better organized and better financed. It was just something I felt was important to do. It developed over a period of time with dissatisfaction of where the state was headed and how issues were going to be debated. I didn't think anybody would talk about the incentives if I didn't get in the race."
