Whenever I think of Mia Love, the song Come and Get Your Love gets into my head and just won’t leave. She should use it in campaign ads.
It won’t be an easy general election for Love, given that RAT Congressman Matheson has survived everything they’ve thrown at him, but the fact that most of the voters are new to Matheson and that Mitt Romney will carry the district in a landslide over Obama makes me bullish on her chances.
As for the number of black Republicans in the House next year, if it ends up being 6, it won’t be because two black Republicans will win in NC. Vernon Robinson has a good chance of winning the GOP nomination in NC-08 and then defeating RAT Larry Kissell in the general (although Robinson has pulled defeat from the jaws of victory before), but I don’t think that Bill Randall stands any chance of winning the NC-13 primary over George Holding or Paul Coble (who have each raised hundreds of thousands of dollars while Randall has raised less than $10,000). There’s Michael Wiliams in TX (with a tough primary but a slam dunk general if he wins the primary), incumbents Tim Scott of SC (shoo-in) and Allen West of FL (ight favorite in a marginal district), which would only get us to 5. But then there’s Paradise City, AZ Mayor Vernon Parker, who’s running in the new, open, marginal AZ-09. I would say that Parker is a slight favorite in the primary and a slight underdog in the general, but if the RATs nominate a moombatl (and I think they will) he could pull off the upset.
If you care the name of the group that performed that song was called redbone back in the day.
you have a lot of knowledge....I for one would love for you to keep FR updated on these up and comers...thx
