I'll split it up next time. Although I agree with most of what Vernon says, he is just way too offensive for me.

Being a woman, I can tell you that his brash style and overbearing antics will not catch on with female voters. He may appeal to your everyday staunch conservative, but he DOES NOT possess the ability to get along with others. This is why he should not be supported.

Our delegation could not get along with Robinson.

A fair point: Vernon tends to deliver delicate messages with a sledgehammer. The campaign (that he lost) in 2002 for state rep. against a woman accused of embezzlement from a bankrupt charter school (I think that's right) is prime such example of a horribly run campaign.

The question is this: who else?

Virginia Foxx - seems to be willing to make any deal to get what she's after (though I can't quantify that any better - it's a feeling/hunch thing). She's gotta prove to me that she'll only do deals with the GOP as a member of the majority. I always wonder about things like abortion and women's issues with women in politics, too. Most are social libs.

Ed Broyhill - shyster; more 'used car dealer' than businessman; liar (campaign ads call him "considered one of America's leading businessmen" when he bankrupted the one major business he had. BTW - he fails to mention that business in his new resume!). Running on Daddy's name and reputation; not fit for office. Neither his corporate office nor any elected office, that is.

Ed Powell - lousy capaigner; Ex-Department of Motor Vehicles Commissioner and ex-state Representative turned lobbyist. No distinguishing characteristics.

Jay Helvey - a moderate at best; recently moved back to NC, I understand. Annoying fluffy commercials that mean nothing. One positive point: he's not used Helms' name. Negative? I suspect he wouldn't be caught dead doing so.

Nathan Tabor - the "young Jesse Helms" probably will be good, but far too young with zero political experience. Has not answer my littany of questions from a month ago (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-campaign2002/1041062/posts?page=16#16)

Given these options, if I had to vote today, it would have to be Robinson, with Tabor second and Foxx a distant third.

Ed Powell gets along with "everybody".

PS: The hot staunch conservative babes tell me that they think Vernon's a stud-muffin!
