Republicans Are Conservative Completely


There are several key positions coming up in the August elections. I find it interesting the Republican party, is only getting involved in those races. They know they can win. At least those they consider very important. Unlike the Democratic party, with so many candidates. One of the upcoming positions has 29 Democratic candidates, vying for the same seat. In the May 2 primary, most Republicans didn't stake their whole campaign on winning the Primary. Like many Democratic candidates have obviouly did. For Democrats the hardest part, is getting the party nomination. Depending on the race, sometimes that's all that's needed.

In the Republican party getting the most votes doesn't guarantee the parties endorsement. Which I think is good. I heard some people talk about, taking away the nomination of a candidate. Due to the fact that he was rumored to have Republican ties. Ask John Willingham, the Republican candidate for County Mayor. The party isn't backing him. They know he isn't likely to beat A.C. Wharton, even with their endorsement. Though A.C. Wharton is a Democrat, they don't feel a pressing need to unseat him. I think they're using their guns for the sheriffs race. That is the most powerful position in the county. In that race they feel they have a winning entry. That's where their efforts and endorsements are. Republicans are conserving everything, even their vote.

    With that said about the Republican Party not endorsing John Willingham. How do you think they feel about John Harvey entering the race? As a write in candidate, John is splitting the Republican Party votes. This race is getting interesting. As I said on my blog, John entering the race as a write in is giving people another option over Lutrell and French. I know statistically write in candidates have an uphill battle. John can possibly pull this off as a write in if the Election Commission purge and update the voter registry before the election.

  2. Blinders Off,

    I don't think they're concerned about John Harvey, one way or the other.Purging and updating the rolls, will work against Reginald French. I don't know what John Harvey's platform is, but I don't see him as an alternative. At this point whatever he say's, is after the fact. I supported Captain Benny Cobb. He had a direct approach to crime. I liked that. Mark Luttrell is my next choice. At least I know he does what he says. The thing to do is change his conversation.

    Common,
    I get your drift. The Democrats are looking for the campaign money. As a whole they still haven't learned, you have to support your candidate. Where do they think the money comes from? That's why the party is diluted. Thus we have the Tennessee Waltz.

  4. Cordova TN,

    I am glad you visited. I remember your post from another blog. I can see you're from Memphis. You might be newly annexed, since you live in Cordova. I haven't seen it in the Republican party, but I have with the Democrats. People are claiming to be Democrats, just to get the votes. Many people are hoping for a situation like Ophelia Ford. If they are lucky enough to get the Nomination, in a traditionally Democratic district. They will almost be assured of the seat.

  7. Scan,

    I'm going to call you that from now on, unless you tell me different. I've noticed something that distinguishes you. At the end of all your post. Usually people that are trying to stir up trouble, call themselves Anonymous. That doesn't seem to be your motive. Since you seem to like the blog, I'll call you scan.
