HT weighs in on Primary 2011


HT who correctly predicted the Republican inroads made in last years election will today analyze May's Primary.

Dem. or Rep. ???

  Well the political posturing is in a frenzy as the deadline approaches for filing candidacy papers in the upcoming May primary. The big news (rumor) today as reported by GAW http://goliathandwimmens.blogspot.com/2011/01/why-do-i-say-not-honest-mike.html is that Mike Moore is considering jumping to the Republican ticket. HT considers this a very shrewd move on MM's part but it could also pose problem's down the road. Let's take a look at it.
      Mike Moore would like nothing better than a one on one race with Galligan. That's a slam dunk for MM,the annexation voters,  Moore's popularity as Co. Comm.and as a politician, he would defeat TG easily in a 2man race and TG knows this. Enter several other declared and possible entries into the Primary. Rob Waiz, , Kevin Vissing, Thersea Perkins all of a sudden you have a crowded 5 person primary TG's chances go way up.

Incumbent

  First of all the anti- Galligan vote get's split by a factor of  four, Galligan will hold his loyal base and all of a sudden we have a horse race. Was there political posturing, promises , arm twisting to get this crowded race set up for Galligan ???  Good question, you could never prove it but this is politics and Clark Co., What do you think ???

Don't get me wrong Perkins and Waiz are viable attractive candidates in there own right. Vissing, as my friend "The Hood Hunts in a Pack"  likes to say has a nice slogan. Perkins could be hurt by her association to John but would be strong with the female vote and a strong candidate in her own right. Waiz has strong connections has his own base of voters and is a polished politician. Kevin Vissing well again he has a catchy slogan..   "Kevin in 11"

Strong with female vote ?

Look out in 2036

The political poker game will continue right up until the filing deadline. MM has a strong hand but probably won't play it until he knows who is in the game. If Perkins files crowding the race, look for MM to seriously consider jumping to the GOP. This could alienate some voters, but a risk that may be worth taking to get the one on one race he desires. Young Matt Owen a novelty, that you have to like, honestly is non factor but watch him in 2036. And K.V. "nice slogan"

Catchy slogan

How does HT fit into all this ?? Well this ain't HT's first rodeo. HT will wait until the last day and file at the last minute. Dem or Rep. ??? HT will wait until all cards are on the table and then play accordingly...
