Ralph Throws Tom Cooper In Race - Coyote Throws Him Out

Many have discounted my "conspiracy theory" concerning candidates in the Walton County Sheriff's Race.

Today Tom Cooper, head of Security at Sandestin pre-filed as a candidate in the Republican Primary.

Not unusual you say ? He's da man you say!

Hogwash !

Cooper is head of Ralphie's Sheriffs Auxilarly, and a one time deputy. He needs to realize that the job entails more than handling bar fights at a Resort.

Once agin he's obviously listening to a bunch of pundits that do not understand the qualifications for the job.

Mr. Cooper - listen and listen closely.

YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED !

YOU CANNOT WIN !

I WILL NOT SUPPORT YOU!

Here is you "Orange Card"

I will waste none of my time in this decision concerning who to keep in the pool of candidates.

You are officially "Thrown Out Of The Pool". You did not even last one day!

Tell Ralph it doesn't matter how many more he throws into the pool as "Cannon Fodder" - the Coyote is on to this tactic.

Didn't know Tom was going to run!! Glad to hear it though...he's professional, dedicated, experienced and can manage a large department. I'd be interested to hear his political stance. It's worth a shot and he may get my vote.:clap:
 
Help me out !

Please explain what large department you are talking about ?

How many officers ?

What was the budget ?

Hasn't got a chance.

Coyote are you qualified to run? How are you qualified to determine who is or is not qualified to run??? No offense, just curious. You have many valid points and I agree with most of them.

How big of a department does one have to manage to be qualified? And has that mattered in the past? One more question....who would you like to see run? Okay...another question......what qualifications would qualify someone to run for sheriff in Walton Co. and what are you looking for?:D

I have stated before that I "am not qualified" to run for Sheriff.

I vet candidates - not just read their "marketing bio". I think you are just as qualified to vet candidates as I am. I am doing it publicly.

I seek a candidate that is qualified not just in terms of a "law enforcement" background, but look at what that persons skill set have been, what they have accomplished, and waited on them to say something beside "I want to be your Sheriff". I research alot. It's kinda what I enjoy doing.

Mr. Cooper is not who we need !

Who do we need? And is that person going to run??? The only way to have complete experience to "be" sheriff, is to have been a sheriff. Can we steal one from another county????:idontno:

You have a candidate from another County running, so yes I quess you can steal a candidate from another county. That individual has not been throw from my pool of candidates. Neither has Mike Adkinson. Both of those individuals have no past connection with Ralph Johnson.

Can either one of them be the new Sheriff's. Quite frankly I am not sure. Both have the boots on the ground experience. One has served as the Chief of Police in DeFuniak Springs, the other has been serving as the head of a state department in Panama City - he has about 6 people working under him. Bill Imfeld had it all in my opinion, but regretfully cannot run. Both have strengths, both have weaknesses.

I must admit that it bothers me that a person that does not live in a county can run for Sheriff, County Clerk, Tax Collector, Tax Appraiser, etc and then move here if they elected, but I am still researching his accomplishments.

Mr. Cooper has a "public record" of service - he served on the South Walton Fire District Board. Nothing there to show leadership, vision or people skills or Fiscal responsibility or due diligence skills(the budget exploded during his term).

Seems like a really nice guy that has listened to people only telling him what he is seeking.
