I would not mind if Walter Jones were to lose the primary. I just wonder if Frank Palombo is the one to do it? He strikes me as a second-tier candidate at best. Does he have any name I.D.?
This race is my introduction to Frank Palombo, as I’m not from that part of the state. His resume leads me to believe he should have some decent name ID in his region of the district, which by the way is where most of the GOP voters are. Past searches also lead me to believe he is decently well-known and liked, and not a nut or anything like that, if there was any concern over that. Not the perfect candidate I guess, but the establishment is firmly behind Jones despite his flaws, and so none of the the state-level elected Republicans seem interested in making the challenge.
I’m lead to believe that there is plenty of discontent with Jones in the district, as there has been for years, and the tea party types all seem to be against him. Time is short but I think there is real potential there for Palombo to beat Jones.
