You don't have a fraction of the political experience I have under my belt. Don't even attempt to hold yourself out as being in my league.Gary R.

If Andy Jacobs is responsible for giving us Julia Carson in congress, why would we take another one of his endorsements from the same family?<BR/><BR/>First scammed by Patrice Adbullah, and now Andre Carson. Andre Carson needs to remain on the Council and get some experience in governing. The voters in district 15 deserve better. Julia Carson has been a total embarassment on Capitol Hill. Andy Jacobs has failed to acknowledge this. <BR/><BR/> If Jacobs and Carson think they will dictate who will be elected in 2008, they have a nother thing coming.<BR/><BR/>The field of candidates on both sides of the political aisle will be crowded with contenders. The 7th district seat belongs to the people and not Jacobs or Carson.<BR/><BR/>Mr. Jacobs is wearing blinders just like Wilson. He has failed to admit or to acknowledge the corruption in the Carson administration as Trustee, the Peterson administration in the city, along with Monroe Gray's ethical violations.<BR/><BR/>I don't need Jacobs or Wilson to tell me who should represent us in congress. Jacobs thinks he should control the African American in the seat. When Carson retires, Jacobs needs to go with her!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-74122283432540750822007-11-17T09:15:00.000-05:002007-11-17T09:15:00.000-05:00Wilson46201 said... <BR/>"Is Eric Dickerson even interested in running again?"<BR/><BR/>Wilson, I'm sure that if and when Dickerson decides you will be one of the LAST to know.indyerniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03817373902728915873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-10565885456374909832007-11-17T09:08:00.000-05:002007-11-17T09:08:00.000-05:00As one of Julia Carson's constituents, I am just greatful that she hasn't been voting.

All one has to do is call his cell phone, so I wonder just how "prominent" this "7th District Republican" really is.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps Eric just doesn't want to talk to him?<BR/><BR/>He's interested, and I'd be pretty surprised if he doesn't run. He's currently weighing whether he really wants to but his business interests aside and dedicate another year to campaigning, on top of at least two further years on top of that while in office.<BR/><BR/>Give it another week or two.Jacob Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15659919624213074419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-21543140612295200792007-11-16T21:26:00.000-05:002007-11-16T21:26:00.000-05:00I have no clue, Wilson.
