Even David Woods started his professional politician career as a paid Pageboy for the Congress at age 14 and has been a professional political operative and lobbyist for special interests in the broadcasting industry for years.

What part of this speaks any word of truth towards Schmidtke being a carpet bagger? Does the old saying that you can't help where you come from not hold any truth these days? I submit to you that probably 60% of the citizens in the state of Alabama weren't born here, but moved here through work, school, the milirary, etc., and they decided to live, and stay here. I would think that if he just moved to the area there might be a sense of "carpet bagging", but to move your life, your family, and your means of income to an area takes more intestinal fortitude than sitting behind your keyboard pointing fingers. The people who are trash talking this man are the same people who always gripe about the situation, but never do a darn thing about it. You don't listen to what anyone has to say, and when you do you are so caught up in trying to think of something smart to say back to them, that nothing sinks in. I have a family, and I want to make sure that my family is represented by someone honest, hardworking, faithful, and very simply smarter than the other bufoons out there running for this seat. I can't see where any of you wouldn't at least lend an ear to this man for one second, and let him at least speak on the issues. Or are you all too scared of positive change? That's it isn't it? You are all happy with paying way too much for gas, happy with the high costs of insurance and the fact that your perscription drugs are about to go up again. You're all happy with the way that Washington is spending our tax dollars aren't you? Well, guess what, if you think for one second that the other candidates could give a rat's ... about you, think again. They'll take what they need from the voters, then head off into the world of the big wigs, and won't look back. You want a man of integrity, a man of faith, and a man of his word to represent you, then guess what, Schmidtke is your man. He is nobody's pawn, and he is nobody's puppet. He is what he is, and that is that. So go ahead and make comments, remarks, whatever, but if he doesn't win and you are sitting there counting your pocket change to buy groceries or medecine, don't gripe one bit. You were the one too afraid to pull the handle for the right guy. Carpet bagger: “Today the dictionary defines a Carpetbagger as ‘ an outsider involved in politics’”.

If I were Craig, I would have hired a campaign manager that would have kept the campaign on a positive beat. I am amazed that Craig is down in the dirt with you guys.

I would say that all the money I am spending on my campaign is a very Schmidtke investment. But wait tll you get a load of my new campaign slogan: Schmidtke Happens.
