What do you think the McHenry camp will have to say about this:

or

Do you think the height-challenged conservative will still declare himself the winner once CBS reports on the topic tomorrow? Pat... the 10th district is tired of leaders who are not honest.

Daniel Johnson, looking better all the time, also has a primary on May 6. With the high turnout from the presidential race, might the total votes cast in the Dem primary for the 10th District outnumber the total votes cast in the McHenry-Sigmon contest? Wouldn't that be something?

No - Sigmon's platform is a conservative, Christian based view of the issues. Unfortunately, until Mr. McHenry made some mistakes of his own and was "called out" by Sigmon, the press paid no attention to Sigmon.

I know nothing of the sour grapes - but I know a decent man when I see one. I don't see that in McHenry - there are just too many questionable issues surrounding him. I think that the District is just trying to correct a mistake from 2004.

With the sudden REemergence of the RON PAUL rEVOLution, McHenry would be smart to return to the RP camp! Just when we thought all was lost, McCain makes an utter fool of himself in NC last week, and then RON PAUL took all the Nevada GOP delegates!!! Oh, you havent heard that on the news? No, there's no media bias!

McHenry doesn't seem to think he's a joke. He went so far as to mention his opponent by name in the ad.

So now the question is, will Daniel Johnson get an easier race against the scandal prone McHenry, or will the 10th District get a more ethical Republican candidate? (I don't know anything aboug Sigmon, I just assume that 99% of the human race is more ethical than McHenry.)

You can't be serious. Sigmon is a joke. His platform is all anti-mchenry rhetoric. He's just part of the David Huffman supporters who are STILL upset they lost in the 2004 primary. This whole race is nothing more than sour grapes.

Sigmon is a McCain supporter. McHenry informally endorsed Ron Paul at a meeting in Gaston County last winter. I also recently read that in January or February, McHenry told a group of people that conservatives should be physically ill at the thought of a McCain presidency. Apparently, however, he later endorsed McCain. So - don't know what to believe with him!!

Sigmon seems pretty straight-up. Not as "smooth" as McHenry, but seems to be doing this out of true concern for our District instead of just to be a politician.

What do we know about Sigmon? Which one favors Ron Paul?

A psychiatrist could have a field day with McHenry's projection problem.

I think that Sigmon is acting as he probably should. While McHenry tries to spin this as "I'm being persecuted", the truth is actually the opposite- Patrick McHenry has been threatening people who don't agree with him ever since he's been in office. There were websites all over the internet against him, but they began mysteriously disappearing when he got his law team (I believe it's the same one, not sure) to start threatening lawsuits.

McHenry's little game is beginning to show it's face, and I'm glad to see it's coming out in full force. Sure, it's requiring everyone face the facts and get down and dirty with their Congressman to see what he's really up to, but it's worth it. I don't see any of this as negative, I see it as necessary.

Oh he VERY much did reveal troop positions, and that his attorney is playing games w/ people in a war zone is beyond shameful. Did Rep. McHenry give the grid coordinates to the enemy? No. But he did reveal the impact of rockets launched by the enemy, and by informing the enemy on YouTube about the battle damage, this allowed them to pinpoint future attacks into places in the Green Zone that would contain the largest population of soldiers.

Rep. McHenry, if he truly UNDERSTOOD the troops and this war, would come out and sincerely apologize for this massive breach of operational security immediately. Instead, he hides behind his attorney. I'm not in his district, but I seriously hope the voters in the 10th choose anyone over this man who is obviously not competent to serve his office.

While McHenry is busy blaming his own mistakes on other people, you can help restore integrity to North Carolina's 10th district.

Daniel Johnson's heroic military service is a striking example of his belief in personal responsibility.

Ha, I claim gimmick infringement on O'Connor. I had a similar posting up days before O'Connors editorial on the Hickory Daily Record's "Let's Talk Politics" blog. Nice to see great minds think alike. http://letstalkpoliticsdiscussion.blogspot.com/

What a contrast to McHenry opponent Daniel Johnson, who is known for saving the life of a serviceman, not endangering members of our military.
