Oh good
Republicans Kelly Marlow, Robert Trim and Barbara Knowles were found guilty.
Marlow's suspended from the school board, Knowles has resigned as Secretary for the CCRP, and who cares what happens to Trim?
And of course, Cherokee Republican, former school board member, and current candidate Mike Chapman blames Obama for everything (citing Jim Galloway's piece below):
“This is like the reddest part of Georgia. It’s blood red,” Chapman said. He blames President Barack Obama — for exacerbating the lines between Democrats and Republicans.
“They’ve created at the national level such divisiveness that if anybody — all the way down to your local school board — even slightly hints that they’re not following the party doctrine, they castrate you,” the school board veteran said.
Updates:
1. Marlow has resigned from the school board. A special election will be held.

2. Jim Galloway reprises the sordid affair: "It is a case of hubris run amok."

More blood
Politics in this county are bloody.
First, libertarian Sam Moore's spanking by (yet another) libertarian Scot Turner was laughable. The entire bunch of yahoos who are the state delegation for our county has voted for (or against) legislation that potentially had as bad an effect on the ability to protect our children as Moore's poorly-thought-out bill. Moore just became the patsy. And of course, Carolyn Cosby thinks that Moore is for "special gay rights." Her hatred and fear of the LGBT community is legendary in Maine. It will be interesting to see if Moore makes it out of the primary with Biello.
Then we've got the Tlacil-Williams last minute rejection of the school board debates. Which moron suggested they do something like that? And why would they listen to anyone who would make that recommendation? We hear that Tlacil went to batting practice rather than the debates.
Poor failed former candidate Dean Sheridan challenged Rick Steiner's eligibility to run, due to (wait for it) tax liens. The Cherokee Tribune reports that:

During the hearing, Sheridan presented alleged county tax liens that the board couldn’t verify and Steiner said he had no knowledge of. The code section cited in Sheridan’s challenge was also revealed to be nonexistent.

S'mores
So, missed a few predictions, a few wins (like Turner / Caldwell Internet broadcast) and some are outstanding. You must be especially proud and excited about Sam Moore, Cherokee county! We shall see if his tenure is short-lived, and Biello takes the seat in the May primaries. I'd suppose that in a non-special election, Moore won't take it, but am not willing to commit to a guess. Frankly, since anti-gay (well, anti-everything) crusader and Christian reconstructionist Carolyn Cosby has come out against Moore, that would tend to bring favor to Moore.
This blog still holds that the theocrat from Bartow county, Barry Loudermilk, will take the HD 11 Congressional race, but really don't have a clue on the U.S. Senate race. Kingston is likely the strongest Republican, but he's got some intense competition from Democrat Nunn. It's all about turnout here.
County chair Ahrens and commissioner Johnston are probably "safe," if anything is in Cherokee, but the school board will probably be taken over by the fundamentalist terrorist crowd. With the "Concerned Women for America" pushing anti-standards bills at the state level, the religious right has education by the short hairs. Expect prayers for Jesus in Cherokee schools soon.

2014 Predictions
Now that we're in a new year, might as well take advantage of it. So here's some (somewhat satirical) predictions:
- Jeff Duncan will be elected to state house district 22, and will channel Calvin Hill.
- Charges against Marlow and Knowles will be dropped because nobody really cares. Trim will get a suspended 30-day sentence, and will leave the state to start an ashram in New Jersey.
- The school board will get an elected Tea Party majority, whose first act will be to host a "liberty" book burning event to raise money for their members' legal defense funds.
- Buzz Ahrens will continue to be Cherokee BOC Chair after his opponent accidentally votes for him.
- Turner and Caldwell will start a live internet radio broadcast called "The Two Tequilas". Jack Staver will arrange for Victoria Jackson to be their first guest. Debbie Dooley will just show up.
- Several Cherokee Tea Party activists will die after a major measles outbreak in the county due to widespread but completely irrational and unfounded vaccination fears.
- Barry Loudermilk will take Congressional District 11 race and declare his district is an autonomous Christian Nation.
- Paul Broun will commit suicide as a result of shame from his U.S. Senate loss, and end up in a pit of hell.
- Nathan Deal will make the cover of Garden and Gun magazine.
- Democrats will continue to be hopeful.
