Neither subject is a barn-burner for FreeRepublic folks. Still, here are two things of slight interest.

It is clear that Taylor is doing that. In his home County Transylvania I guess the dead really are going to vote for him.

Hi, why would Charlie Taylor possibly be dropping out?
I'm very uninformed about that issue and I apologize about that. If you could give a brief reason, that would be great. I would guess a crime was committed maybe?
I hope you do make an upset along the way to victory.

Nice to read a well written 'human interest' story for a change, John. Congrats on getting so many votes. If North Carolinians knew you like we at FR know you, you'd be stuck living in the DC area ... so things aren't so bad big fella.

I take it that your opponent was not Charles Taylor, the Liberian warlord, but another Charles Taylor closer to home.

Good job! Hang in there and keep up the good fight. Post your donation website too. I didn't think Thune had a chance either, but he won! Must have been the $5 I sent him, so I'm a good luck donor.

Thanks for your Bermuda snippet - I TOTALLY agree with you . Bermuda is paradise. It is the platonic ideal of paradise. I've been there a dozen times - my husband and I are cruising there this year, and my dream is to retire there...if I can ever afford it.
If you stayed in St. George's, you certainly didn't experience the best of the island, IMO (although it is impossible to find a negative location in Bermuda; I just am not a major St. George fan). I've stayed all over the island, but my favorite, by far, is the Willowbank in Somerset.
To: M. Thatcher
We stayed at the Grotto Bay Beach Resort, and it was absolutely idyllic. I have driven scooters all over the Island, and I agree with you that there isn't a really bad place to stay anywhere there. I also heartily recommend the Swizzle Inn, home of the original Run Swizzle, for food, music and camaraderie.

Hey, cool. And interesting about Bermuda. I don't fly, and we live in S. FL. I think we can actually take a boat there. Something to consider. Or is that the Bahamas? Guess I'd better get a map out.

Bermuda and Rum Swizzles, pleasant memories for my husband and me.....also

To: brytlea
Bahamas are close to FL. Bermuda is in the middle of the Atlantic, mas o menos. Yes you can take a boat to Bahamas. I fly there in a small single-engine plane, but obviously flying holds no fears for me.
There are many islands un the Bahamas chain which vary widely. You could spend a lifetime exploring them. (Some are private, and if you get my drift, some are very private -- best given a wide berth).
Bermuda is all John says. I haven't been there in years because the airport only carries jet fuel and they take a dim view of illegal immigrants with no way to get home.

Hi, why would Charlie Taylor possibly be dropping out? Same reason Bob Ney'll be dropping out of his race -- that would be my guess.

Yeah, someone mailed me the reasons regarding possible crimes.
The only question was weather they would procede before the election to avoid another election again.

Nope, I didn't "fall off the moped." As the article describes, I am still in the hunt for the Republican nomination for Congress in the 11th District, if the incumbent, Charles Taylor is indicted (which is a very real possibility). Click the article for more information.
If I become the replacement Republican candidate, I will immediately be the odds-on favorite to win the general election over the Democrat candidate, former quarterback, Heath Shuler.
