All Democrat hands however, are on deck elsewhere

The Democrat party has chosen their best candidate for the SOS. Jocelyn Benson, who has pledged an "oath of non partisanship" in her bid for the coveted spot is the Democrat's singular hope for maintaining any semblance of power in government after this fall's election cycle.  

And when I say "coveted," I mean it.

The SOS position is a keystone of the efforts of the progressives that occupy and entertain the big labor strategies.  Benson is seen as an attractive candidate who is the best chance for labor to expand vote manipulation methods and fraud.  "Non partisan" in her eyes would likely mean no preference between slightly socialist and overtly marxist (the left and further left parts that occupy the party of the a$$) Democrats.

With great ideas like voter registration while in high school and no reason absentee voting coupled with same day registration, Benson is a vote manipulator's dream.  And she has all the right friends too

Now..  I am not saying Benson herself is of questionable character..  Its just sometimes you might get judged by who you hang with... And those who would use your bad ideas to their ends.

But Republicans need to have someone who is capable of beating her, knows who she really represents (Labor, Soros, Stryker, etc..) and isn't afraid to campaign hard and take no prisoners.  This is a big deal, and Brewer's crew will likely ignore all else to focus resources on this race.  In fact, they have already shown no signs of strength in the AG race putting up David Leyton, who is perceived as a weak candidate state wide, and likely will not see a Democrat governor because of the incredible mismanagement of their last pick who can be tied to them.

So that leaves the Secretary of State.

I had endorsed one candidate early, and since rescinded because of my disagreement on the smoking ban issue, but there are three candidates for SOS that have my attention.  These are listed in no preferred order.  I would actually like to get some feedback on this.

The first would be Anne Norlander.  She has been an active campaigner, and started going out state early seeking support for the nomination.  she WANTS the job. It has been said a decidely competent administrator as well.

Second, is Cameron Brown.  Not seeing as much from him in my area, but cannot find an official site either.  I know he stood up to the smoking Nazis in the Senate though.

Third, is Ruth Johnson.  Ruth caught me off guard.  As I was ready to lean Norlander she showed up and wowed a few at a 912 meeting here.  Unfortunately I was not there, but more than one person commented to me on how she is a strong advocate of election integrity. Though none of the candidates would argue for the lack of such a thing, there is a passion she shared that really brought confidence to the message.
