Election Reflection

It would seem that the Cherokee demagogues have taken a hit in local elections.  They were summarily rejected in all local Board of Education races, and beat back a challenge to the chair position for the county commission.  There was one turnover so far on the commission - Harry Johnston was beat by newcomer Steve West.  One runoff is pending for the commission district 4; one of the two candidates is certifiable.

There will be a runoff in State House District 23, between the education candidate and the religion candidate.  This will be a telling race; they have tossed libertarian Sam Moore out.

Probably the most chilling race is for U.S. House Rep. for Congressional District 11.  Theocrat Barry Loudermilk faces off against a returning Bob Barr.  While Loudermilk will likely be just as ineffective and bumbling a legislator at the federal level, Barr, as repellent as we believe him to be, is certainly the better politician and has something to show in his resume.

Cosby's independent committee

To attack Ahrens and Johnston, our resident anti-gay marauder and Christian reconstructionist Carolyn Cosby, has created a state Independent Committee:

We've heard that she's sending out lots of nasty flyers.  Don't think for a minute that Cherokee politics has changed.

Found one flyer.  UPDATE:  This one is for the unregistered Canton T.E.A. Party, and illegally endorses candidates.
