Huffman is a good guy- I have nothing against him as a man- I just don't think he can win. I think Stegall has a decent chance- a very good chance without Huffman in the race, whcih sort of makes me wish Ed would drop out. If what the last poster said comes to fruition- that if it is Niley vs. Robinson, then Niley will win....then, so be it. If we, as Republicans, let it come to that, then we deserve to lose in November.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4305308739784844668.post-52350030284581664572010-04-22T21:13:24.739-04:002010-04-22T21:13:24.739-04:00A Bob Robinson win of the Republican nomination wi...A Bob Robinson win of the Republican nomination will turn a lot of people to voting for David Niley. The Democrats are salivating over the prospect of the Republicans shooting themselves in the foot with this primary. Not that any of the candidates is anything to write home about, but people are either FOR or AGAINST Bob Robinson rather vehemently. If it means voting for Niley to keep Robinson out of office, it will happen - maybe not enough to get Niley elected, but enough to show a pretty large difference in support for the Republicans from the 2008 commissioner election(s).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4305308739784844668.post-27862925618535267172010-04-22T20:43:26.502-04:002010-04-22T20:43:26.502-04:008:27 PM:

So, the word is that Thomas Subler, the guy who VERIFIED the votes- NOT helped count, only verified AFTER Doris Howdoyado had already "counted" the 43 votes for 40 minutes- is a Versailles resident who (wait for it).....is sporting a big ole Bob Robinson campaign sign in his front yard! HA HA HA!!!!!<br />Never mind that Lyn Bliss is strongly active on his campaign- and by her own accounts and Bob's- is even the person who convinced him to run, with her help of course. Al is also an enormous supporter, and Dodo Howdiegirl is also a well-known supporter who uses her business (Tropical Isle) as a sort of Robinson for Commissioner "hub." (ask anyone who receives Bob's emails)<br /><br />Nope. Nothin' to see here, folks. How could anyone possibly question people so unbiased? THE NERVE!!!
