My Take On the Next Election


I am just laying down my predictions. So in six months when the dice have rolled the way they will, these will hopefully be my "I told you so's."

Governor- Judy Wins. Rod is honestly too poor of a politician to make a serious bid to stay in office. Forget whether or not he's good in Springfield working with legistlators, I don't think he'd know a campaign if it knocked on his door and introduced itself. Campaigning takes work, I'm not sure he knows what that is. I'm predicting Republicans coming around and supporting Judy, if not in the weeks coming up to the election, at least in the polling stations when the votes get cast.

Lt. Governor. Duh!

Treasurer- Good gosh don't ask me to spell anyone's name right! So we'll call them Lady Republican and Guy Democrat. LR need's to come out guns blazing. Blast DG's lack of experience, poor connections with the rest of the party, and throw some mud about his banking past. Play it mean. If LR projects being much more experienced and qualified, issues won't be a major sell, prestige will be.

Secretary of State- I like Rutherford. I like the way he does things, and I'd love to support him, but....here's the thing. He is going to have to mudsling like crazy. He cannot afford to play it nice. Be aggresive and and play a real campaign. You've got a shot then, longish, but doable.

That's my take. Summer campaigns will tell us more.
Best of luck to all the Republicans.
