I’ve heard John Robinson over the last couple days pimping my appearance on his show Friday, which is good. Hopefully a lot of my readers will tune in and CALL IN!
But I just wanted to make a couple clarifications on some things he’s said. While I am an elected member of the Wicomico County Republican Central Committee, the views I have and will be sharing are definitely my own. Lord knows that my six cohorts don’t agree with me on everything.
One thing I’m sure we’ll be discussing is the Congressional race between Joe Arminio, Andy Harris and Wayne Gilchrest. Unlike the NRCC (or at least its chairman), our Central Committee cannot take a stand officially in the race. However, I can tell you that we have some Harris supporters and some Gilchrest supporters in our midst. I’m sure most readers know where I stand on the race, but I do try to give each candidate their say, even the Democrats. They can dig their own holes.
Further, my feeling of the state party as I understand it is that they’ll remain neutral in the race as well. If this remains so, they are certainly to be commended. I have to say that thus far I think we’ve chosen a good leader in Jim Pelura – in truth, he’s surprised me as a voting member who actually supported his opponent, John White, when we selected a state party chair last fall.
Anyway, some of the other topics I’d like to discuss are the events in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Congressional race I just covered, and maybe the Presidential one as well.
Speaking of my Presidential decision, at the moment the early leader (through part six) is Tom Tancredo. In visiting his blog a few days ago, he’s made the interesting move of soliciting questions from ordinary citizens, so I asked him two. (It’s 1/5 of Ten Questions I suppose.) He hasn’t gotten around to answering this round yet so I’ll be interested to see if he does answer mine – if so I’ll certainly share that.
And I’m sort of curious myself who my readers support for President on both the Democrat and Republican sides (or even if you’d consider a minor party candidate), so I’m going to try something and see how it goes. Consider this an open thread; but a) tell me why you support who you do, and b) try and keep it clean.
Having such good comments made in the past, I know my readers are up to those two tasks!
