With all of the banter about Obama having little political experience (and I agree with that estimate) despite his service in the Senate, I would have to say that Jesse has even less experience, and what we need now during these trying economic times is experience.

Now is not the time, in my opinion, for a politician to learn “on the fly” or to take time to get accustomed to our government’s methods of operation.

Also, his wife having a degree is not an accomplishment on his part. Why didn’t he do more between 2004, when he got out, and now?

Now Jesse Kelly, on the other hand, is the kind of real conservative we need in Washington.

Which is why I said “where he stands” not “how he’d vote” – it’s a political gut check. Maybe that kind of stuff is above his paygrade.

Go to any group home, any luncheon on any campus, any association of some trade or profession and see the ‘natural’ coming together of LIKES. Yes, we celebrate a cat feeding a puppy, but that is because it is not usual. It is insanity to pretend that reality is not real, folks.

Maybe Kelly is actually going to stand up for a segment of our society who have long been without representation because too many of us are pretending to support those who would never support us, given a choice. So says Sotomayor.

If we could combine Jesse’s service to our country and having been a life-long Republican like Ron Gould, we would have a winner.

I wonder if there is a Republican out there that never got mad and left the party, is a US military veteran, and has high name recognition in politics?

We are closing in on a mid-term election that will likely be “politically deadly” to Democrats give the direction the Obama Administration is taking the country. There are A LOT of Independents who are going through “voter remorse” because what they voted for and what they got are dramatically different.

Giffords could very well be collateral damage although she is not a Pelosi clone with the same ratings as the more liberal members of the Democratic Party.

The key to Kelly’s success is money. If he can raise the money needed to scare off a credible primary opponent and bank that cash for the General, he is in the running to beat Gabby. Thus far, he is off to a pretty good start and is talking to all the right people.

There is another contrast to Bee and that is all based on image. Tim was a very nice guy but let’s face it, he did not come off as a man’s man and that has a strong appeal to men and women in the district.
