Fun while it lasted
And i was so looking forward to the possibility of a Sheriff Taylor in Durham County:
Oh, well. Maybe he can help stimulate the economy by hiring some of the underemployed to take down his campaign signs.
Roy Taylor, Republican candidate for Durham County sheriff, has withdrawn from the race because of questions about his eligibility.
According to election rules, candidates must live in the county for at least one year. Taylor moved from Wake to Durham County in December 2009.
Oh, well. Maybe he can help stimulate the economy by hiring some of the underemployed to take down his campaign signs.

Since 1949, Durhamites have slept soundly, secure in the knowledge that, in our town, erection can be depended upon. Now, thanks to the power of the internets, we can spread that security all over the world.

Dunno about Floyd, but his sign sure as hell lives in his district.

Wow. I was looking forward to the possibility of having a 'Sheriff Taylor' here, too... but now I'm wondering if I'd elect someone who didn't bother to read and understand the requirements before starting his campaign. :/

Sarah Palin (and John McCain) got 47% of the popular vote, and she didn't know what the duties of the VP were.
Just hijacking Barry's post today to slam people other than Sheriff Taylor...

It came across my feed last night that he may not be out yet. They were consulting attorneys to interpret the fine print regarding 'permanent residency' and 'intent to relocate'...
