Republicans Have Them a Celeb To Run Against Kissell
Well known and now retired Charlotte sportscaster Harold Johnson sez he's just the empty suit to take on Larry Kissell in the NC-8.Johnson's got the time. Johnson's got the hair. Johnson's got the smile. He's THE PERFECT Republican, all hat and no cattle.
Now, Kissell's got his own problems these days with his base, but he's also got time to make some repairs to those bridges.
And Johnson, a teleprompter-reading celebrity in the rah-rah sports arena, might be our choice for an opponent, if we were running the Kissell reelection campaign. Anyone remember famous race-car driver Richard Petty's run against Elaine Marshall in 1996? It actually takes a little more than (totally unqualified) TV notoriety to get into office.
Oops
Inadvertently lost the link to the Jim Morrill story in today's Charlotte Observer.
