Northup Blogger Call

I wish to thank Anne Northup for the time she took this evening answering the questions from 6 to 7 state bloggers.

In the time I have spent looking over my notes from the call, I will say this much.  Of the 5 running for the position (Anne Northup, Chris Thieneman, Bob DeVore and Corley Everett on the Republican side, and John Yarmuth on the Democrat side), I personally see Anne as the best of the bunch.

Earlier, I might have been tempted to align with Chris Thieneman, mostly due to his organization around the library tax loss.  However, he's much like those music bands who were one-hit wonders.  He's accomplished nothing but lose popularity since his one hit.

The rest on the republican side do not have the name recognition nor the record to really go up against the muscle of one-term John Yarmuth.

As I continue to peruse over those notes I mentioned, I will venture to say more later.

To the others running in this race, I challenge you to open your campaigns up to similar blogger scrutiny.  We will offer you the same gentlemanly and lady-like manners we offered Anne.  In this case, yes, we were all conservative.  However, John Yarmuth, we'd even be nice with you.  I at least challenge you, John, to meet with like-minded liberal bloggers.
