We have some horrible Republican Reps in this state, but Coble is among the best. Considering his district, the last thing any Democrat should want is Coble to retire. You can't imagine the caliber of nut that would replace him.

January 8, 2010 - 7:35pm — OathKeeper28379Gee! No conflict of interest there! If Mr. Coble gets 77% of his campaign contributions from PAC and only 17% from "We The People" Who do we think he will best represent???????
Its time for Mr. Coble to retire!
