2010 elections will see Democrats spend $50 million to focus on Obama’s minority and young voters…..want to bet this is the first poll for 2012…..to see if surge voters will return to help re-elect Obama.
1st District congressional candidate David McKinley needs to add a security component to his campaign…..a supporter recently took photos at a planning meeting…..many showed charts developed at the session…..then put them in an email to who knows.
Is the Democratic primary for Governor over…..last year potential candidates were running over themselves at Coalton Days…..not so yesterday. House Speaker Thompson was the only one on hand…..he continues to appear in Northern WV…..building awareness and name ID.
A quick thought about tension at the national level…..Blue Dog Democrats are doing everything to stay in Congress…..Republicans are doing everything to make Obama loss his office.
All indications are in a week Larry Puccio will be chair of the state Democratic Party…..his background of running successful campaigns…..COS to a Governor is the exact background for the job…..a political party chair must be a mechanic…..not a policy wonk.
More on Coalton Days…..and Delegate Mike Ross lawn party…..locally there is an open seat in the House of Delegates from the 37th…..that brought those candidates…..even Republicans have a candidate. Senator Walt Helmick was on hand he faces a Grant County Republican in November.
Another pick up at Randolph County’s Coalton Days…..local insurance guy Jay Wallace drove his company’s fire truck in the parade…..he could not be running for State Fire Marshall that is appointed….just being a good community member…..that is Jay.
Father’s Day is a family day…..not one for Byrd watching…..the Senator’s office was to be the scene of a rally…..to send him a message about the anti-coal policies of the Obama administration…..that event should have had a second thought.
