Today is the last day you can register to vote for the upcoming November elections. If you haven’t registered yet, you can download the form here and mail it to your county election commission. The form must be postmarked Oct. 4th for you to be eligible. Early voting starts in about two weeks and...
I don’t think a Fincher win is a given. If you had asked me two months ago, I would have said it was probably going to be the Frog Jump farmer but now, I’m not so sure. I live in the 8th and the mailouts from all three GOP candidates has been mind-boggling. I...
I’m nearly certain that this is the second or third time I’ve used this heading. When you already don’t get a lot of sleep, doing something to get even less makes it that much more noticeable. Anyway, yeah I stayed up late last night, which really wasn’t all that late for most people, but...
With just under 10 days before the beginning of early voting, some of the races are really starting to heat up. Outside of the Governor’s race and the 9th District primary, the two races I’m following closest are in TN-08 and TN-06. I call these races the “Open Seat Challenge”. Both seats were held...
John Tanner has some words for SteFi and his newfound interest in jobs at the Milan Arsenal… Stolen in it’s entirety from JR Lind: “I want to thank Mr. Fincher for his newfound concern for saving jobs at the Milan Arsenal, where we have been fighting for years to keep good-paying jobs for West...
Well, yesterday was kinda fun. A couple of hours after I published this post, Jackson Baker at the Memphis Flyer took the ball and ran with it noting that another candidate has been suspiciously absent from the state’s largest county. In a comment to that article, one person opined that perhaps Stephen Fincher (Who...
The fireball in the sky has been wanting a lot of attention these past few days. Ever closer, it has bared down on us with mocking and cruel insistence. Some quick words of advice about the heat: if you know anyone that can’t get out easily (like an elderly neighbor or the like) go...
Nick Beadle of the Jackson Sun is on the case with more: Last week I wrote that a Memphis-area Tea Party group was complaining that Republican Stephen Fincher had not returned their calls about a debate in Bartlett but Democrat Roy Herron was talking with them about participating in the event. According to an...
The CA’s Bart Sullivan is all over this one: Republican congressional candidate Stephen Fincher’s receipt of $3.2 million in federal crop subsidies since 1999 is likely to be a major issue in a year of Tea Party political ascendancy within the GOP. Some see Fincher’s receipt of subsidies as a potential conflict of interest...
Rural Conversations On Politics
I spend a lot of time talking about politics. Usually I’m in a rural situation, as that is where I currently live, and the conversation usually goes like this. Random person: What do you do? Me: Blah, blah, blah and I work p/t in politics. RP: I HATE POLITICS! Nobody cares about us. I...
