Endorsements Galore
There were two endorsements made this week that I find interesting. First Ken Fries was endorsed by Congressmen Pence and Souder. Second John McGauley was endorsed by Attorney General Steve Carter.
Normally I wouldn't mention endorsements but these two are not typical endorsements.
A Congressman will on occassion work with a sheriff to develop a crime bill. So an endorsement by the local Congressman is not out of the question. This is also an enticing endorsement for a Congressman because the sheriff is a high visibility candidate. For two Congressmen to share the spotlight in this endorsement is rare.
County recorder candidates have a hard time getting anybody to take notice of them. At best they can hope to get the endorsement of an elected official in whom they will work with on occassion. The last time I checked there wasn't a lot of interactivity between that position and the Attorney General's office. This is the first time I can recall when the Attorney General has made an endorsement for a County Recorder position.

Ken Fries is really a high-quality, energetic individual.
He has very high degree of confidence of the members of the department.
Yet many officers on the department are supporting Tina Taviano!
I think the only reason you are seeing these endorsements is that the ACRP is concerned about their chances this fall.

The Souder endorsement was very interesting. I think both Souder and Fries are each in more trouble than either thinks he is. All I got from the endorsement is a feeling that the repubs believe that these positions are their birthright. I, for one, am sick of it.
"Voting for hayhurst & Taviano"
I think your bitterness towards Republicans is clouding your judgement.

I could say the same thing about a lot of Democrats too!
Dear Bill,
Not in Allen County you couldn't.
Bill Henessey - Wanna discuss the local parties ethical standards?
I saw a photo in the Journal-Gazette of the guy who should have been the Democratic nominee -- Mike Joyner.
Taviano is losing many Democrats.
Do you really want to go there John? Well, give it your best shot buddy!
John, me thinks your implied words are nothing but hot air.
Ask Mike Joyner who he supports it's not Tina. 2% support from the ACPD doesn't say much for Tina.
