"The chances of Michael Smith getting even a single vote in the Republican primary are as good as Abe Lincoln's," Lunch said.
Lunch referenced the Presidential campaign of 1960 to explain this criticism.
"JFK was criticized for being in national politics for only 14 years. Not to say Michael Smith isn't a decent guy, nor that he doesn't have interesting political ideas, he just doesn't have the background," Lunch said.
Smith realizes he doesn't have the campaign visibility to win the presidency. What he's really hoping for is a chance to voice the growing discontent for the way his party is operating.
Smith is looking to others discouraged by how the party is running to gain support for his fresh ideas.
"I want to encourage people to think, to get involved. The younger demographic needs to start voting. There is so much at stake," Smith said.
"I've known Mike Smith for a number of years. When he asked me to be his campaign manager I was eager to. He reasons through things very well," said Ann Messersmith, professor emeritus in nutrition and exercise sciences.
Though not taken seriously in some sectors, Smith knows he has a valid message and hopes to have a platform to explain it.

Dang, I guess I can't count on Bill Lunch's vote. Just to clarify - I started at HP as a technician but finished my accounting degree and an MBA. I've spent the last several years in marketing and supply chain, forecsting market demand and coordinating manufacturing resources in Ireland, Singapore, and Malaysia. (Continued…)
