Following up on a previous post about candidates who are less than savvy when it comes to getting publicity for their campaigns, it's worth pointing out that on Saturday, Wendy Wilde announced her candidacy for the 3rd District against Jim Ramstad.
Here's the header on the press release e-mail. See if you see anything odd:

Give up? You're telling the media you're announcing for Congress at almost 9 p.m. on a Friday night for an event at 10 a.m. on a Saturday?
If there's one event you want to pull off just right, it's the one where you tell people you're running.
