Comments on: The Quick’n'Dirty – Shuler’s For Hillary http://scrutinyhooligans.us/2008/05/06/the-quickndirty-shulers-for-hillary/ If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen. — Samuel Adams Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:18:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: bobaloo http://scrutinyhooligans.us/2008/05/06/the-quickndirty-shulers-for-hillary/comment-page-1/#comment-20323 bobaloo Wed, 07 May 2008 13:49:28 +0000 http://www.scrutinyhooligans.us/?p=5392#comment-20323 You could be right Gordon. But does that mean that Holly's dominance came mostly from city folk who know her or what? I'm confounded. RHS, yep, Mumpy could be a threat. We've seen him move toward the center and even piss off the GOP in an attempt to be a challenger. None the less, Heath's got buttloads of cash on hand and a record to tout. You could be right Gordon.

At one point there were close to 300 people there inside and out. I've never seen that place so crowded! Thanks for making last night a huge success, folks.

Whatever differences I have with Heath Shuler are out the window now that he'll be running against the sanctimonious blowhard. Given the nature of this district I don't want to take a defeat for the Mumps for granted. Can SOMEBODY please explain how John Brooks, who was Commissioner of Labor in 1991 when a fire at a chicken processing plant in Hamlet killed 26 workers (the fire exits had been locked by management to prevent the workers for stealing chickens and the plant had not been inspected by Brooks' office) managed to finish 2nd in his attempt to regain his seat and appears headed for a runoff? Disturbing. Bobaloo — sure hope you are right about the Mumps being headed for a crushing defeat.

But folks outside the city appear to be more interested in having the devils they know vs. the cityfolk they don't. Bobaloo,

Unaffiliated get to choose which primary to vote in. In any case, here's looking forward to Mumpower's crushing defeat in November. I actually kind of like the guy (he makes me laugh), but he's no match for Shuler. I'm really disappointed in the county commissioner results. Don't people pay a damn bit of attention to the arrogance of the incumbents? Don M,

Republicans can't vote in Democratic primaries in NC. I would imagine that Bill Stanley will get some Republican votes in November from those Republicans who don't want to vote for Don Yelton. I must admit I was (pleasantly) surprised at how well Holly Jones did. I figured she would have problems outside the city and I do suspect that for the November election the CIBO crowd will turn her into the poster child of everything county residents hate about the city -- you know, annexation, water rate diferentials, free thinking hippies, etc. But there were those who thought that Patsy Keever was too liberal to get elected county wide and she did it three times -- four if you count her carrying Buncombe county in her attempt to unseat Charles Taylor in 2004. So, could we be looking at a reunion of Holly Jones and Joe Dunn (opps, excuse me DR. Joe Dunn) on County Comission? Republican crossovers? Republicans can’t vote in Democratic primaries in NC.
