With the 2014 election less than 2 months away the BatBlog will be providing the top local coverage. Including the highly accurate BatPoll which only missed one race (the Drew Adam's victory over Dan Moore) in the spring primary. Look for more in depth coverage, predictions and endorsements as we near Election day, today a quick summary on some of the key races.Probably the two main races here locally is the Clark Co. sheriff and prosecutor's office. Jeremy Mull( R) chief Deputy prosecutor looks solid and should win. The sheriff's race while still too close too call looks as if Mac Spainhour the independent may have the slightest of leads. In other races Judge Joe Weber(D) will win easily in his race and look for Brad Jacobs (R) to take the other contested Judge's seat. Susan Popp (D) will breeze into the County Clerk's office and the BatBlog predicts William "Perry" McCall (D) will have a good opportunity to knock off incumbent Co, Auditor R. Monty Snelling (R).
In other races newcomer Martina "Tina" Webster (R) is up against a big challenge taking on incumbent Co. Assessor Vicki Kent -Haire (D). In the Co. Commissioner Dist.3 race Bryan Glover (R) seems to have a slight advantage in that race over David Abbott (D) at this time. Finally in the Clark Co. Council races look for all four incumbents to hold on to their seats Hollis (D) , Lenfert (R), Doherty (R) and Yost (R).
Watch for more detailed analysis, predictions, and endorsements in the coming weeks on the individual races ,as well as the highly accurate Bat Poll...Good Luck to all the candidates and be sure to Vote !!!
You seem to have skipped over the super high-profile race for Jeffersonville Township Trustee Advisory Board. Any favorites in that contest, pal?
ReplyDeleteMac Spainhour to win? Apparently your past success was a complete fluke.
ReplyDeleteYou also forgot Payne vs Crum.
ReplyDeleteYou are probably right in most races. However, two months is a very, very long time in scandal ridden Clark Co. An indictment or two may change the outcome in several major elections. One or two individuals could sink the ship if not the entire Navy. Many hope the hammer will fall!
ReplyDeleteIf Jacobs wins it'll give Carmichael complete control of the courts. Hide your wallets if the voters of Clark Co allow that to happen!
ReplyDeleteIf the hammer falls .... I will finally believe in the system.
ReplyDeleteJacobs is a Republican, wink, wink. He is one of the Good Ole Boys who shows up at all of the good ole boys political rallies. Nothing every really changes in Clark Co. Adams, Jacobs, Carmichael and Weber. Buckets will become the official Democratic headquarters.
ReplyDeleteThere are several others besides Rodden at that courthouse who need to be investigated.
ReplyDeleteI want a Judge that can stand alone. This buddy system stuff is nothing but trouble.
ReplyDeletehow about a judge that just wants to be a judge instead of trying to run the whole darn county. do what you were elected to do and nothing else.
