The writing has been all over the wall for the past few weeks. As the leading Democratic vote getter in August though, it would not surprise me to see him back in the picture next year. Let's all wish the best of luck to the new sheriff and their (yes I am aware it's plural...TH and JJ) appointed buddies on commission. The campaign starts tomorrow at 10:00am, so get out there and start raising that money.

"Although math is not my
"Although math is not my strength, I can count to ten..."
Heh.
Run..Randy..Run!!!
I told Randy I would stick with him until the sheriff's appointment process was over.For us that process is over.Randy Tyree can win the nomination & be elected sheriff next year...Run..Randy..Run!!!
Bill, if the city situation
Bill, if the city situation after term limits kicked in is any indication, there will be a whole host of new faces getting into all these races next year.
You might want to keep your powder dry and see who's running, unless you believe that Randy Tyree is the best of all possible sheriff candidates out there.
But which democrat? Andrews
But which democrat? Andrews ain't running again and I don't see any other democrat out there that has the name recognition and fortitude to stand up to the Hutch and JJ fraternity. The next election isn't far away so someone will have to start chipping away soon.
i do
Randy loves to keep his powder dry but I'll tell you what Ive told him..if your running for sheriff..pull the trigger now.I do believe Tyree would be one of the best sheriffs we've ever seen.
What if?
What if "J.J. Jones" is really Hutchison with one of those curly black mustaches that villains used to have in old-timey movies?
That's be funny.
Bwahahaha! Good one! And
Bwahahaha!
Good one!
And maybe true.
You've made me think of that Peyton Manning commercial where he's wearing the black wig and stash talking about what a great QB that manning guy is.
