I have never in my life voted Democrat (God rest my mother's soul for me even thinking otherwise)....but I just don't see McKay, and this Wood guy (29B for me) as being anyone who epitomizes what the Republicans need to carry on in any of the situations you've described... it's service...not self-service.



Are you voting tomorrow??
Am I voting tomorrow? Hell Yea, 3 times. Since it is so horrible to ask for photo ID I figure I might as well beat the Democrats at their own game.

As far as McKay, I am not sure what I am going to do. Dyson is not an alternative in my mind not because he has a "D" but because he is on the wrong side of the issues. What I would like to do is to send a message to the GOP in SMC that they need to come up with some viable candidates instead of the good old boy "connected" people.

In the end local candidates are less identified by "party". Look at how often they swap parties just to get into races. I would have no quams about voting for a local Democrat IF they were reasonable and one the right side of issues that affect me locally.

Anyway a no vote is just as valid as a vote for.
