How many of these candidates do you know personally? None, evidently. :nono1:
The only reason RJ won in 2004 (besides Miramar Beach and absentees) is that the former incumbant joined the race - and you CAN'T tell me QMc is a Johnson supporter.
I know and have talked with 6 of the 8.
Haven't traveled to Bay county - why should I ?
Haven't ever talked to Brown either. But I have talked to his boss many times.
Ralph will get 15-20% of the vote from people that vote for incumbents.
Take the other 80-85% divided them amoung 7 announced candidate and surprise "He's Back". None of them will get 20% +1 individually.
That poll that was ran on waltonsun.com for the last couple of weeks put Adkinson at 60%. I here he has already raised over $15K. Of course no way of knowing until the reports in April, but if that is the case..........
Personally, I wish them all luck. I am really interested in seeing how someone runs a race with that many candidates and is able to define themselves in such a way that they win a majority. Incumbents always have a heck of a head start. So it is going to be interesting.
Discovered this afternoon that another person is thinking about running, as an independent. Wanted to tell him please don't eff this up more than it already is, but there were children around.
Heck, I'm starting to wonder what would happen if I threw my bra into the ring. Maybe Fuzz can cut his long-range plan short and go ahead and run too! Let's see how many people we can possibly fit onto the ballot. It's already shot anyway.
It will be interesting to see how they finish, but none are particularly outstanding at this point. Last time the field was much more distinguished and qualified. (Quinn, chapman, baker, mckee)
Ok, I've had it. It's official. I am running. I am running for the county line. :funn:
