Cabarrus Filing Watch 2008: The Excitement Begins!

February 26th, 2008 by Justin Thibault · 7 Comments

OK, a lot has happened since we last visited this:

  • Jim Johnson has filed for Fletcher Hartsell’s seat. Will Hartsell set a record for beating the greatest number of people in an election?
  • There’s a primary fight in the GOP. Liz Poole and Marcy Hiers filed. That makes it a four-way race for two seats (Bob Carruth and Holly Blackwelder had filed earlier).
    • It looks like we’ll see some of the School Board battles that have been going on under the radar will be front and center.
    • Also, who is Marcy Hiers?

Of course, you can keep up with the excitement here.

    A better question may be how many times will Fletcher Hartsell beat Jim Johnson. Not sure if this will be 3 or 4…

    An even better question may be what will happen moe for Mr. Johnson: divorces or defeats by Fletcher Hartsell…

    Andy - Ouch!

    In other news, Wayne Troutman has signed up against Jeff Barnhart.

    Troutman’s campaign was brought to you by the copious amounts of BBQ purchased by the Fred Smith for Governor 2008.

    The GOP Mens Club has consumed its share of Troutman’s BBQ as well.

    Steve - That was a policy from the “old management” that’s gonna get revisited.

    Steve-

    I’m sure Wayne appreciates the support. Keep on keepin’ on. We’ll have both Cabarrus districts Blue in no time.

    Christopher -

    We’ll have both Cabarrus districts Blue in no time.

    What I find most precious about liberals - their complete inability to do arithmetic.

    The GOP numbers stronger and the candidates are more credible. Take Jim Johnson - when I heard he was running the first question I asked was “is he running as a Republican or a Democrat?”
