Go to www.waltondemocrats.org to cast your vote.

With all due respect, if this is what you base your vote on, you are in serious trouble. .... But to base your vote on these problems is pretty shallow, IMO. I don't think you are that shallow, Scooter.

In light of this post,, I find it interesting (so much it made me smile, in fact) that you posted this next bit...

.... You, by your insinuations and demeanor, have lost any chance of a vote for any of your recommended candidates. I have always heard, "every vote counts". I hope it is so.

pots and kettles right??

P.S. This is not an attack. I don't think that you are shallow either. Just a statement on the duality of man I suppose.

Sadly - Demo Poll was WAY off!

Straw Poll: A survey of opinion which is unofficial, casual, or ad hoc

This idiom alludes to a straw used to show in what direction the wind blows, in this case the wind of public opinion. O. Henry joked about it in A Ruler of Men (1907): "A straw vote only shows which way the hot air blows." [c. 1885]

From the git-go, this poll has been advertised as a "straw poll" -- nothing more. However, we'll keep it going until August 26th and see how far off it is after the primary results are in. ;-)

If crow were available, I'd be eating a plate full. Just shows that north Walton still rules. The latest straw poll results on the www.waltondemocrats.org site showed Braunstien (14%), Hudson (43%), Jones (9%) Osborne (25%) and Smith (8%). Over 200 votes were cast.

It's a shame! We had good candidates who actually live in and understand South Walton. Sooner or later we have to change the way we elect commissioners and determine it by District rather than by county-wide election. Will we even have a commissioner's office in south Walton?
