One example is the last campaign of the GOP in the 3rd, evidently there was much work put into that campaign as well. Unfortunately it appears the hard work of the 2007 campaign failed partially due to bad strategy and misguided leadership. <BR/><BR/>What the GOP needs is a strong candidate at the top of their ticket in 2009. But from the list of possible candidates (or lack of success in enticing one), it looks like once again the Bristol GOP will fall short.Concerned Constructive Conservativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13369681105636203099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-27432680354125261292008-12-31T07:27:00.000-05:002008-12-31T07:27:00.000-05:00Guess the COO issue is beginning to take it's toll...Guess the COO issue is beginning to take it's toll.<BR/>Hopefully it will reach over to the republican side also and get cockayne booted too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-70474818841108685822008-12-31T07:16:00.000-05:002008-12-31T07:16:00.000-05:00Mike Petosa!!!Mike Petosa!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-66142665437970103082008-12-30T23:05:00.000-05:002008-12-30T23:05:00.000-05:00Let's hope the Democrats get someone to replace hi...Let's hope the Democrats get someone to replace him on the ballot with someone of higher caliber than they have in the past.Concerned Constructive Conservativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13369681105636203099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-15621843248804499632008-12-30T22:58:00.000-05:002008-12-30T22:58:00.000-05:00Maybe the Republicans can put someone up in the 3r...Maybe the Republicans can put someone up in the 3rd who is willing to work a hard election to claim this open seat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-38911120621866186792008-12-30T20:37:00.000-05:002008-12-30T20:37:00.000-05:00You've done well, Mr. Minor.
