I was commenting on the humorous structure of your post, cheers!

All the current mayoral candidates over there are substandard (to put it nicely) and Floyd has a proven record of performance. Probably a pipe dream, but hey..its nice to dream…

But I’m conservative, not without humor, not without a sense of irony.

For what it’s worth, I believe Governor Sanford deserves whatever retribution comes his way for his behavior. That’s what sets men of honor apart (regardless of political philosophy) taking respnsibility for their mistakes/misbehavior. We’ll see….

Great way to meet sexy Argentineans ?”

That is incredibly funny that you put those two questions together: so the common sense to leave your state without a governor? Or the balanced, family-oriented viewpoints of a rich fan of Argentina?
Ha ha, ho, ho hhmm.

Burning desite to move our national education ranking from high forties to middle forties?
Just can’t get enough of those exciting budget deficits?
Been dying to pave that northern arc for the environmentally insensitive suburbanites?
Got a great idea for another new state flag from the DHS art classses?
Not enough Republicans in Decatur to provide common sense and balanced viewpoints? (sorry, that’s a real one I stuck in for fun.)
Great way to meet sexy Argentineans ?

Bill Floyd would probably be a refreshing change in the governor’s mansion, but really – why would someone actually WANT to be governor?
