Primary Election Comments
State House:Ron Forster won his primary election against LC Cripps. Not too much of shocker there (just a little, though). In hindsight, the people had already voted LC out of office once. I suspect they remembered why they didn't like him.
What I don't understand though, is this:
Why is Ron celebrating with "YMCA" from the Village People? That's a very festive tie, too, by the way.
County Commission:
Ron Gracy lost his primary reelection bid to Dewayne Hill, who I know almost nothing about. So, I'll just say "Thanks Ron for your service to the county; best of luck." Ron was a big target from the NeoClarkes; although I'm not terribly sure why, other than just for the purpose of a power grab. Good luck against Chris Scott... Rather, good luck to Chris Scott (D).
Bobby Winters won his primary bid again. To his credit, during his first term, he didn't do anything offensive. It's just that he didn't do anything remarkable either... Advice: Strive to lead. We'll have to see in what light the county remembers Pat Page during the general election.
State Offices: Lt. Gov.
Good bye, Golden Boy Ralph Reed! Thankfully the state citizens have enough common sense to cast aside a corrupt, facing indictment, hypocritical, power-grabbing political ladder-climber.
State Offices: Governor
I'm surprised that Sonny's challenger (what's his name again?) got 15%+ of the vote. That's a lot of racist flag voters against Sonny.
I'm not surprised that Cathy Cox lost to Mark Taylor. For weeks, I've said that I thought Cathy had a good chance to beat Sonny Perdue, but that I didn't think she could get past Mark Taylor. Now that Taylor has won, I don't think he can beat Sonny. Mark has way too many skeletons in his closet and has made way too many enemies over his career in this state.
Good try, Cathy. Don't give up!
OK. That's all for now... I'll sign off thinking of "YMCA... It's fun to stay in the YMCA!"
Kinda creepy...
