Dale Huddleston, well educated and eminently qualified managed only 5 votes.

Is it just me or is this Deja Vu all over again ? (props to Yogi)

‘Well connected’ Party loyalist selected over well educated and eminently qualified candidates ?

Haven’t we seen that act before ?

Isn’t that exactly what the Bush/Cheney/Rove team has been doing the last 8 years ?

We’ve all seen how well that’s works.

AND NOW it’s coming to a county government near you !

Help stop the madness !

The 2010 election will be a big opportunity for Blount County Democrats.

Get involved NOW !
