Walton County is Republican Country

[idlewind]

There are no red counties, and no blue counties. There is no north county and no south county. There is Walton County, and we are all part of this community and we all want to see it be the best county it can be.

The country repudiated Rovian divisiveness and hyper-partisanship last night...may we soon follow suit in Walton County.

I intrepreted last night as an embrace of a candidate who knew what he stood for as opposed to a candidate who has a history of bi-partisanship.People like to know where their candidate stands.

I had to delete a couple of posters last night. I hope that's the end of it. A little gloating and a little griping is expected, but much more than that will not be tolerated.

I feel it is my duty to support the folks who won and I intend to do it cheerfully. I hope others feel the same.

Well said, although a little teasing and ribbing is good for the soul. I lost so I guess I am have it coming.

You suppose the new sheriff can stop the tax theives from stealing us blind?:boxing: Otherwise I don't feel so safe.:scratch:

Believe it or not, I had to spend several l-o-n-g hours talking to Alan Osborne yesterday and he has a very good take on how things at the local level actually play into this whole economic crisis. It really gets you thinking when he connects the dots on local events and how they effect the whole picture. Especially if you realize these same scenarios are probably playing out in communities across this country. But had a Sheriff would ever do anything about it is beyond me.

i won't be happy until we have more democratic candidates running in our local elections. we've now made our presence known so don't think you will hold all of this county forever. a little diversity of thought never hurt.

With the talk about the Sheriff's race in Walton County, in this thread, it makes me ask, shellak, How does a Democrat Sheriff do his business differently than a Republican Sheriff? What about School Board Members? How does a Democrat Board Member govern differently than a Republican?

Seriously, how does Party affiliation make a difference in how local elected people run the County? I think most people run on the Republican ticket because there have recently been more registered Republicans than Democrats, and it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with how they will run the County.

Sure didn't seem like "Walton County is Republican County" if you were at Bud & Alley's last night!

One man's slaughter is anothers close loss. Obama won, time to move on. I'm visiting with Jack just now to get some perspective.

Yes it is time to move on. So why even bring it up? Stop looking for consolation when ther is NONE. You got hammered when it really meant something to you admit it!

It was an unequivocal nationwide rejection of the Republican base, which happens to predominate in northwest Florida. The people have spoken. You can remain true to your beliefs, just remember to wear your freak flag lapel pin if you journey out into mainstream America.
