Flap's Blog – FullosseousFlap's Dental Blog

I’m not sure I follow…doesn’t a good showing for Tony Strickland strengthen momentum for him going into the general?  Having been a part of campaigns in the past, I know that (regardless of primary position) everyone is still looking to get as much support as possible and Strickland and co. surely have a number in mind for percentage of the vote they hope to capture.

Also, this says nothing about how people view each candidates chances in the general.  It certainly appears that Strickland could beat either Brownley or Parks in the general but if I’m a Republican who believes Strickland stands a better chance against Parks, why would I support her “just in case” Strickland doesn’t win? 

Telling Republicans to vote for Parks isn’t helping to get the best conservative candidate elected.  I disagree with your logic here.

I would rather see a Ventura County conservative vs. a Ventura County moderate face off than a VC Conservative vs. Far Left Santa Monica resident race – especially since the Dems/Unions will pour in tons of money in the race for Brownley. They may support Parks, but not without a commitment to vote for Pelosi.

Parks is a better opponent for Strickland.

Besides the campaign fireworks will be most interesting.

Wow!

I have known Linda Parks for decades and I find her no more abhorrent than any of the other POLS who have been in Ventura County office.

 I don’t agree with your assessment but I will say that it’s ridiculous for Flap to suggest that Republicans should vote for anyone but Tony Strickland.  All Flap has done is either A) expose his lack of knowledge about politics or B) is the result of some weird grudge that is causing him to suggest people Republicans don’t vote for one of the few consistent conservatives in Ventura County.

I’ve had my differences when some of the blog posts here that I read occasionally but this is just ridiculous.  The campaign fireworks would be more interesting?  Are you kidding me?  Do you think that when the balance of power in the house is at stake that we should be playing games for entertainment purposes?  Strickland deserves the vote of Republicans, period.

 No, like I mentioned several times previously, I think Strickland will defeat either one of them.  The media will do a lot of the work for either Parks or Brownley should they make it past tonight.  I just think it’s unwise to ask Republicans to vote for Parks at any time.  At the very least, they should instead be encouraged to vote for one of the other three Democrats if it’s Brownley you want to hurt.  Why boost Parks numbers?

Republicans should vote for Tony Strickland, both today and in November. 

 Are you supporting Strickland in the general election regardless of who advances to face him?
