Write-In Checks: GOP Committee Chairs To Host Fundraiser For Kurita
Posted on September 24, 2008 at 10:56 am
In a move which will no doubt confirm her detractors deepest-held suspicions and have supporters noting her lack of options, Senator Rosalind Kurita will hold a fundraiser for her embryonic write-in campaign on October 1st — featuring Republican headliners.
The event, which suggests a donation of $500, will be held at the Cherokee Equity Corporation and boasts as hosts every Republican state Senate committee chair save one, Senator Jim Tracy.
When asked why the Senator was the only GOP committee chair not on the host list, spokesman Clint Hall explained, “As you know, Sen. Tracy is up for reelection this year as well and that is where our focus is.”
Tracy, while still very much favored in his race, has been targeted by Democrats who believe his opponent, Jean Anne Rodgers, has an outside shot at defeating the incumbent.
When asked for comment on her elephant heavy host committee, the newly independent Kurita said only, “I am very pleased to be receiving support from so many Senators and friends.”
Senator Rosalind Kurita’s August 7th primary win over fellow Democrat attorney Tim Barnes was ruled “incurably uncertain” at an eight-hour meeting of the Tennessee Democratic Executive Committee on Sept 13th.
With election then voided, the task of choosing a nominee in District 22 fell to a tri-county convention of the Democratic executive committees in Montgomery, Cheatham and Houston counties.
That convention voted 61-4 to install rival Barnes as the nominee Sept. 17th.
Senator Kurita filed, just before deadline, as an official write-in candidate for the seat she currently holds Sept. 15th.

Shocked, shocked I am.
Yawn.
Roz give it up. According to polls released today in the MSM, you and your evil halliburton loving friends on the right are going to be totally abolished in the November election. The great messiah, Barack (dont call me Saddam’s last name) Obama is going to win every state in the country and democrats all over will ride his coattails to the biggest landslide in history.

Oh for God’s sake….Dan t you can’t be that blind….I hope not for your sake anyway. I’ll be praying for you! oh, and Kurita’s win as well.
My friend dan t, you are seriously delusional if you think Obama will win in a landslide. Surely you jest?
