DFS Herald Sheriff's poll. Who has your vote?

[The Watcher]

Politics is something that like alot of people, I have tried to deal with, without getting "caught" up in it.

That was then...this is now. For the first time in my life I have a yearning to scream...CHANGE IS A MUST, if Walton County wants to grow. Yes I agree with many others I have spoke to, the GOOD OLD BOY DAYS MUST COME TO AN END!

In comparison to the rest of the state ( not speaking about drugs and alcohol, yes, I know the present administration is at the top of the list in this catagory NOT!, there is more to life...like child abuse, domestic violence, unsolved theft...some huge, etc...) we suck in upholding the law in this county! The Good ole' Boys seem to have a handle on it...NOT!

Good luck to anyone who is about change...we need it!

Oh how refreshing to see it is not just a cup o tea away. The south will decide the vote for '08. Many of us have decided to become vocal this go 'round. DFS be sure those you support are those you TRUST. Those are two very different words, be warned...

The South rose last time. Party-line Republican MIRAMAR BEACH coupled with the absentee vote is what kept RJ in office in 2004. I don't know why people keep forgetting this.

And they pretty much did the same thing last time. So ShallowsNole, can you put your finger on anything that has caused a major shift in the thinking of the area? I know I stay pretty involved with the politics down there more than any other place in the county and I can not think of a thing that has caused this major change.

I'm not sure there actually is a major change. From this forum, there appears to be...but I've been fooled before.

If you know anything different, you are welcome to talk with me privately. ;-)

dont count sunday out yet. He has the connections from his fathers haydays in politics. And politics is all it would be. he has no room in his career for anyone other than himself. He took off from sitting on johnsons right hand to distance himself from the stink. he has the same bad temper, why do you think they call him "banty rooster"? voting for him would just mean more of the same with an alcohol chaser. The fat lady has not yet sung. theres gonna be more to come. perhaps even glidewell? That would be a real sideshow!

If all of those guys from Walton County Corrections were able to take off and run, I believe the taxpayers would start questioning the reason that they were hired in the first place. Sometimes the back edge of that sword is more dangerous.

Wouldn't this same logic apply to the city marshall? Unless he plans on resigning to run, wouldn't you agree his duties as chief be neglected if he ran? Or maybe you're telling us that someone else is running things at the police dept. and he is a figurehead. How's that for the back edge of your sword?
:rofl:

Let me see here. You named the two top administrators of which I think there are two. I see your two apples and raise you an orange.

Can you give details about what you say? These are things that should be discussed because he (sunday) works for the people and we should know. What other candidates are you thinking about? Why would any of them start a "sideshow?" Especially glidewell, he works for us too. Please explain what you mean.

Then you agree that sunday can run? That was the one that was being discussed. You do have a point if both of them are being talked about. Why can't we find a person who is not a good ole boy, has no connections to anyone in the past and is qualified? Does anyone know a man/woman that fits the bill and will run for sheriff?
