Well I just got here, or rather I should say, back here, after 45 years off in the land of Moonbeams. That's why I asked here... I figured folks here would know this guy and whether he was a clown or a cowboy, without a program.

Nice little Christmas ornament his campaign web site is selling to raise funds (second item bottom page) ...

That's the first "bad" thing I've seen about him. I don't "do" Facebook. I guess a candidate has to stoop to all sorts of nonsense to connect with voters anyway he can these days. Probably beats kissing bab(es)ies anyway.

No such thing as former Marine, BTW. Once a Marine, always a Marine, I'm told! He sounds like about my age and the 3 "very's" line up.

I'll just drag my knuckles over to the voting booth on Election Day and vote for him anyway, I guess, unless something else pops up.

I hear ads on the radio stations about this man who was Land Commissioner, a Senator and now running for Lt. Governor, Patterson IIRC is his name, claims to have written the CHL law.

Being the new kid on the political block in these parts, I'd like to know if he is the real deal, sound, and deserving.

What say you?
