I borrowed some of the statement in the first thread and posted on Boston.com for Earl Sholley.
My Dad had the pleasure of meeting him last year in Norfolk at the town library. He specifically set up a meeting with him to discuss his views. We (my family) is originally from Norfolk, although I have moved out and my Dad moved to Florida. He is still concerned about Massachusetts politics and wanted to see how this man stood on issues. Especially since he comes from our home town.
He was pleasantly surprised and stated he would support him if he was able to vote here. So, I put my hat in the ring too!
Thank you for notifying me of this issue.
I read your post at Boston.com and recognized the text. No problem. I figured it was one of the Sholley supporters. Those of us who blog for Sholley borrow from each other all the time He is a great guy and a true conservative. I had some questions about him last January and called to see if I could meet him and he drove about an hours ride in a terrible thunderstorm to where I live and we sat inside a diner and talked politics for three hours. He is a walking encyclopedia of issues related knowledge and has developed into a very engaging candidate who is one of the most sincere people I’ve ever met. He’s the real thing!
Is there a chance that Sholley might win the primary?
I did a stupid thing and touted Bielat to my little group because I saw he was a marine and figured that was about as conservative as you can get in MA - but I am now going to check this guy out - Sholley, I mean.
I think I will like what I find out just based on what I have seen here, any ideas how to back out gracefully from 1 candidate and move to another... other than, oops, guys, screwed up again :)
Regardless, whatever repub gets the nomination... this has got be Barney’s most vulnerable year and we have to take advantage of that...
