Closing up shop

Since we've had no responses to our previous post ("Requiem for a Draft movement"), wondering who to support in the absence of Coop, I think that means either no one is paying attention to the blog of a failed draft movement, or else people honestly don't have any clue which candidate to back. Either way, I think that means it's time for the blog to sign off. It's been fun.

A few items of interest, though:
  • There is one announced Democratic candidate for Senate in 2010 named Cooper! But it's not Roy, it's Nathaniel Cooper. Don't confuse the two. According to his website, Nathaniel is a distinguished U.S. Army veteran and very well-educated. In that case, whoever did his website is not doing him any favors, particularly when it says he is going to put ethics back "IN TO THE POLITICAL HALLS OF WASHING, DC."
  • Meanwhile, there's another draft movement afoot: Draft Cal Cunningham. Good luck to all involved.
  • Since my last post, Grier Martin has said he won't be a candidate, and Heath Shuler seems to be taking another look at the race. Also, state senators Malcolm Graham and Dan Blue are giving it consideration.

Thanks to everyone who followed the blog and here's to an interesting 2010 election!
