We live in a majority Republican county, in a majority Republican district. Some years, Fox News and Art Pope overwhelm the local message, some years the local Democratic Party's message gets out and Dems are elected. <br /><br />As for the state Party, it has had years of incompetent "leadership". I look forward to seeing what Patsy Keever brings to the table.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-61658801456079782892015-02-09T17:14:13.712-05:002015-02-09T17:14:13.712-05:00Yes, Henerey.

We also deserve to brag for only losing 2 of the 3 non partisan school board races. Of course, the Repubs only ran 2 candidates but we did, in fact, win the race where they didn't run anyone.J.F.S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-85436896132713940162015-02-09T10:53:06.751-05:002015-02-09T10:53:06.751-05:00"high dollar industries that basically don..."high dollar industries that basically don't give a shit"<br /><br />Well, yeah! http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2014/03/21/3417387/coal-ash-waste-duke/Oh Suzannahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-29000369975183289022015-02-09T09:12:33.667-05:002015-02-09T09:12:33.667-05:00Seems like you're taking a dim view, J.F.S.

Are you forgetting that Democrats also took a full majority on the School Board (no more book censorship, maybe!) and forced poor David Blust into running again next year, a presidential year, which he definitely does not want to do. Considering how Republicans did elsewhere, the local Democratic party more than held its own.Henerynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-873757358746143762015-02-09T08:35:54.302-05:002015-02-09T08:35:54.302-05:00Yea!
