About this time last year, Tim Krieger came door knocking in our neighborhood. After a few minutes of conversation and reading over his literature, I could tell he was the real deal. I told him I would vote for him come general election time, but it probably wouldn't do any good as our district was so heavilly Democrat that I planned to vote for the least objectionable Democrat in the primary.
He asked if I would take a lawn sign. I said "Sure, I've always has a soft spot for Don Quixotie." He told me he was going to win and I just gave him an incredulous look and said "Good Luck."
I still kid him that he rode in on Obama's coattails, because our area saw what an egotistic POS Obama really was in the primary. McCain Sarah Palin carried our county by 58%-- and Democrat registration outnumber Republicans by 2-1.
I have had the pleasure of being a speaker there for the last 2 years. It is a very good, very well attended event. I have the utmost respect for Rep. Metcalfe and his staff.
