Local Politicos Reading Blogs?
Local troublemaker Cas Walker, whose efforts at poking the powers-that-be with a sharp stick I appreciate, has been getting comments at his blog that claim to be from Jamie Hagood.
Jamie, who is currently a State Representative, is running for State Senate. I’ve met Jamie a few times (we share some common acquaintances) and she seems nice. I don’t really know where she stands on any issues and, since she doesn’t represent me as I have moved to Blount County, I’ve not kept up with her. If she is reading local political blogs, good for her.
I have my doubts about whether or not she is reading local blogs (after all, I can enter any name into a comment form) but I hope she is. I think politicians need to read what others are saying about them. After all, unless the sky is falling, our local media ignores political scandals and criticism like the plague.
I should point out that her opponent, Billy Stokes, has a blog. Jamie should start one too.

He will if he knows what’s good for him.

She. She. I meant ‘she.’ I knew that. 🙂

I’m reading them and responding when or if appropriate. We have high speed dsl capacity on the campaign website and is available to campaign staffers at the HQ on 4501 Chapman Highway. If you are out in the district on just coming down Chapman Highway, please feel free to stop in.

If you’re Jamie, I appreciate it.

It could be anyone, don’t you think?

Or it could be her. At any rate it would be interesting if Stokes opened his blog up to comments and then she started commenting there.
