Looks like we have a candidate for Auditor. But what about Treasurer?

State Auditor Tom Wagner has been in office since 1988. He barely won reelection last time, in a year favoring Republicans (2010), against Richard Korn, a man that people were not rushing to vote for even before he was indicted on child pornography charges. A credible candidate beats him this time. Attorney Brenda Mayrack seems to have both the party backing, knowledge and auditing experience to be that credible candidate. Now, as for the Treasurer. The oldest addage in politics is you can't beat something with nothing, though the Republicans have really tried to test it out over the last five years.

In keeping with the spirit of the seaon (i'm just guessing), Richard Land (a leader in the Southern Baptist church) says that single mothers should always give up their babies for adoption. I'm guessing the Land's aren't rushing right out to signup for some more mouths to feed -- they are just in the business of making more women feel guilty and undermine the family values they only give lip service too.

So let's start with a serious question -- if Sheriff Christopher is the Sheriff of Nuttingham, what character would we assign to Chip Flowers? Today, the Attorney General's office rendered an opinion based on questions that the Cash Management Policy Board asked the AG to weigh in on. Those questions are:

I was thrilled last spring to move to a Blue state. Still am, except for one major deficiency here. Our voting machine systems. Most of the rest of the free world, at least here in the good old U.S. of A., has discovered the flaws and huge risks present with DRE voting machines.
