:agree: :agree: :agree: with samhass.

My bottom line is: I avoid all politicians like the plague. Should any friend become or be one of these types, he/she'd know from the start that politics is a dirty word in my house, and the subject is verboten!

My next-door neighbor up north was a good friend who ran and was elected to the city's Board of Aldermen (after her first husband was murdered by a car-jacker at their front door). She knew of my restrictions, and the only time we ever discussed politics was when I asked her to do something for me and the street. We had a good relationship, and I intended to keep it that way!

No politicos at my door!

Here is a link to the Villages Daily Sun article about Will Pruitt. http://www.thevillagesdailysun.com/a...ews/news02.txt

Thank you, Tal, for the Daily Sun article on Pruitt. Certainly doesn't sound favorable for his political future.

This Guy Pruitt Sounds As Well Qualified As...
 

...the guy who was running in a primary for the U.S. House of Representatives a couple of years ago. His personal website said that he was unemployed, but had a long history of being a community activist and hippy, including a stint sitting on a flagpole. And this was on the guy's own website!

Having juxtaposed the two candidates...Pruitt sounds worse!

Re: Our state house candidates
 

Just out of curiosity, what areas of the Villages are in the O'Toole - Pruitt voting area?

Parts of Lake, Sumter, and a small part of Marion. See website. It's district 42.

Voters in the Villages will decide who wins this election.

Re: Our state house candidates
 

You gotta at least understand who is running and who will represent you. I was active in Connecticut working for a great State Rep who has been successful and that success has been reflected in accrues to his District and the service he provided. Here in our District, I think we have a good opportunity to send Marlene o'Toole to Tallahassee. I haven't met her but I like what I see. I always have encouraged people to at least make the effort to do their personal vetting of the candidates and vote accordingly. Personally, I don't have a problem with allowing candidates to meet their potential constituents. You can always decline the opportunity to speak with them. Our Representation in the Legislature is important..and we should take a few moments from tee times, happy hour, clubs, etc. to vet our candidates and then vote.

Re: Our state house candidates
 

There must me another website out there because I can't find any of this information. Post a link please because there seems to be a lot of disinformation about Will Pruitt going around and not just from our "newspaper" down here.
