Sen. Smith Gets Nod of Wiregrass Group » Doc’s Political Parlor — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 16:59:34 +0000

[...] To be seen… will the group get its wish and have a field clear of other Wiregrass candidates? Dothan Businessman Charles Nailen had said he would not run without the group’s support, and is asking his supporters to back Smith. [...]

Preach on BB. We need to be looking for the most qualified the most committed and the person that can do the most for the district, the state and the country. There appear to be some in the wiregrass that believe the state senator from the area should be handed the nomination and start her reign. it is ridiculous when there are a lot of interesting and and hard working candidates out there that would make one helluva congreesman. southeast alabama or not…this race is wide open and those that act like it is not are touting candidates for the wrong reasons.

Why does it matter if the person is from the Wiregrass? Does it matter where the person lives as long as that person is the best leader for the district. It seems pretty ridiculous and juvenile that some people in the Wiregrass think that only a person from Dothan should be considered as the most qualified.

Culver has not been mentioned as someone that is truly interested. Kingmakers maybe but I hope the next congressperson is from souetheast alabama and not monkey town!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice idea to have a unified front from down here to divide and conquer.

I wonder why Mark Culver the Houston County Commission Chairman… was not listed by this pollster? He has a lot more support then millionaire Charles Nailen for sure.

Who are the would be kingmakers, and why is no one up in arms about this? Isn’t the about voting, and not who the powers that be try to foist upon the people of the district?
