Iowa Democratic caucus over … no idea of who won … as of early today. … One news report indicated “mass confusion” at the state level. … Great way to begin the 2020 campaign. … Guess all can claim victory, and move on to New Hampshire…
Apparently a huge turnout at Bladen County Commissioners meeting last night. … Second Amendment Resolution passed … 6 in favor, 3 against.
Passed through town about 7 PM and you would have thought it was Christmas Eve … and Santa had just arrived and was passing out goodies. … Vehicles all around the courthouse. … I remember those occasions while serving as a commissioner hump-teen years ago…, but, in the late 70s and early 80s, most of those type meetings related to re-appraisal or a budget hearing, or maybe closing or building a school. … Second Amendment Resolutions draws a crowd as well. … Can be stressful … but when you are seeking the office, you sell voters on the idea you can deal with the issues. … That may be part of the reason what little bit of hair that remains on my head has turned white or turned loose. … But, I would do it all over again. … A great experience. … Not at 80, maybe mid 30s…
On the topic of voting for political office-holders. … One Stop (early voting) begins February 13. Deadline for requesting absentee ballot by mail is February 25. Primary election is March 3, 2020. Hope and pray all goes well. … We don’t want to challenge Iowa for news related to voting issues…
