Olddog,

The 2010 census (Utah QuickFacts from the US Census Bureau) shows the population of Utah to be 2,763,885. Of which ~69% are 18 years old or older. So there are ~1,900,000 voting age people in Utah. Assuming 50% are registered (might be higher in Utah) that would mean David would need to reach ~850,000 registered voters. However, since there is no way to tell just which 850,000 of the 1.9 million are registered, he would need to reach out to all 1.9 million. Assuming 4 persons per household (remember you are in Utah) that would mean he'd need to send flyers to 475,000 households. Cost per flyer (postage and flyer itself) of even $1 would mean he'd need $500,000 just for one mailer.
There are 32,676 members on Club Cobra. If ½ of those sent David $100 he’d still only have $150,000. So his task is a BIG one. But one that I’m willing to support

David, Should you decide to run let me know where to send my $100.

FIA Mike
