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.

Cherokee BOC cuts ties to Tea Party group
From a Cherokee Tribune article dated February 9, 2012:
"The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners has ended its relationship with a self-appointed citizens committee the board earlier agreed to partner with to find ways to cut county spending.
The commission voted unanimously at its meeting Tuesday to cut ties with the Review and Recommendations Committee to Assist County Government, which formed late last summer to offer ideas on how the government should spend taxpayer dollars.
The motion came after County Commission Chairman Buzz Ahrens expressed concerns about the committee’s direction. The issue was not on the agenda and came as a surprise to committee members."

"Carolyn Cosby, the chairwoman of the committee, said Tuesday after the meeting she was shocked by the commission’s decision and labeled the decision as “an insult to the citizens of this county.”
She also said she took the commission’s decision as the body declaring it doesn’t “want our spending agenda interrupted.”
“The Citizens’ Committee has been at odds with the commissioners almost from the beginning,” she said. “Ahrens has been highly critical of the committee and agreed to the formation of the committee only under citizen pressure.”
Cosby also took issue with Ahrens’ assertion that the committee’s sole focus was the ceasing of all parks bond spending.
Cosby said the committee “refuted” the parks bond initiative because it was just another “Washington-style, tax-and-spend policy.”
She also called parks bond spending as “optional” and said she believed it would have been best for the commission to hold off parks bond spending until the economy full recovers.
She said the committee had plans to discuss the county’s pension plan as well as land use as ways to reduce costs."
