Shawn, from Twin County Combustion, is reporting that Del. Bill Carrico will face Democratic opposition this coming November. I hope that we do not let any Republicans run unopposed, and especially Del. Carrico. Shawn writes that he is "happy to say that we have at least TWO (maybe three) Democrats who are currently 'forming their exploratory committees' and considering challenging Mr. Carrico next year."
This will be a good year for us to beat Del. Carrico, coming off his lackluster run against Congressman Boucher.
To be honest, though, I had hoped Del. Carrico would have really went after Congressman Boucher (i.e., made some outrageous statements, attacked votes, etc.). The way it worked out, he did not go negative, as was widely expected. By taking the Gǣout of sight, out of mindGǥ approach to his campaign, Del. Carrico wisely did not give us any new ammunition to use against him.
Granted, however, his record of voting with House Republicans instead of doing what is best for his district is probably harmful enough anyway.
I look forward to hearing more about the prospective challengers and eventually doing all I can to help the nominee.
I think a strong nominee could make Carrico sweat a little.
