Write-In Campaign: Who's Participating?
IS THIS FOR REAL?.... We heard there is an active, ongoing campaign to get voters to write in Nancy Stacy for House of Representatives, District #24. The campaign seems to have been started by:
A sizable group of voters from all political parties who are sending a signal of their dissatisfaction with Kurt Kelly as a candidate and/or the method one of his supporters used to prevent a majority of District 24 registered voters from being eligible to vote in the primary.
We want to hear from you. Will the effort to encourage writing in Ms. Stacy for House District #24 get more support or will it fizzle out? Tell us what you think.
There’s discussion about Stacy’s write in on the thread below this one. Take a look at those comments, and then continue the discussion here.
Also, participate in our Straw Poll concerning whether or not you will write in Ms. Stacy on the ballot. Click the link below:http://www.insitefulsurveys.com/Survey.asp?SI=688410812652

WHATS THE DEAL. HOW DO U SPELL HER NAME? IS IT NANCY STACY OR STACEY/ GOTTA GET THIS RITE OR KURTIE WILL TRY TO THROW OT OUT AND THAT BROWARD CTY GUY WILL BE UP HERE HPOLDING ALL THEM BALLOTS AND LOOKING AT EM ON CNN. TELL US HOW TO SPEL!!!!
Thanks Blogmaster John for once again beating the Star Blunder and getting us all the news and first. I wonder if Bobby D will have this on his show today. Caution Bobby, the word police are watching you.
Her name is spelled NANCY STACY.
I doubt she will win but hope she piles up a bunch of votes.
There's too much voter apathy and no one is really interested in politics or voting for some dim wit write in.
Voice of Reason says.......
The Nancy Stacy trian is rolling and I'm on board.
did bobby have it on his show today? then if chip asnd pc will help, nancy may have it in the bag if big bad john will cross dress and put on his show plus on his blog too.
Nancie's train is going NO WHERE.The Kelly train is much bigger and will steam ahead. Better get on board, board member herring and crawford.
I'm amazed at the irresponsibility of this blog and the voters as well. Do you really think that a write in has a prayer? All this does is show how immature you bloggers are. Just because you despise the winner does not mean that you should not take your voting rights seriously. So you would rather have someone with absolutely no experience representing you in Tally? No offense Nancy, just would rather you run locally first - School Board maybe? They could use you!
kurtie's skool bored experience sure didn't kely the kids or parents. and the hatred i see is from the pro kelly forces. go nancy!
6:12 PM: Yes, I would rather have Nancy Stacy than Kurt Kelly.
I do take my voting rights seriously and that's why I'm not voting for Kurt Kelly.
6:25- your spelling is atrocious. That's why Nancy will NOT win. The voters won't even be able to spell her name as well.
Personally, I think she would be a great school board member.
7:57- The Supervisor of Election's office will not allow a mispelled name. They will do their job. Kelly will have NOTHING to do with throwing it out.
You notice these Kelly people always suggest that anyone who dares oppose their darling Kurt should run for some other position. I find that hilarious!
Nancy likely won't win, but there are many who would rather cast their vote for her than Kurt.
I'm just waiting things out until Damon can get another shot.
i vote for Nanci Staci
This section is a big joke!
If Stacy gets 15-20 votes it will be a miracle!

The two comments above are related to the School Board appointments the Governor wil be making and were moved to the thread below this one.
"Lobbying" for candidates for School Board appointment is not a topic for this thread. Keep it in the thread where it is being discussed.
We should all want the system to count people’s votes according to their intent. I’ve seen several spellings of Nancy Stacy’s first and last names on this blog and people suggesting that misspelling her name might invalidate a vote. I’ve been curious what criteria are used in counting write-ins and what portion of people trying to vote for Stacy will have their votes counted.
I was in the Marion County Supervisor of Elections office recently on another matter and made an inquiry about this. Based on what I was told there by an employee who consulted a deputy supervisor of elections and based on review of two pertinent rules promulgated by the Florida Department of State’s Division of Elections (1S-2.0031 Write-in Procedures and 1S-2.027 Clear Indication of Voter’s Choice on a Ballot), I offer the following comments.
If you want to vote for Nancy Stacy and maximize the chances that your vote is counted, then you should fill in the bubble that indicates you are voting a write-in AND write-in her name,” Nancy Stacy,” correctly on the line for a write-in. I would think a similar procedure would apply for the machines they use for early voting.
Any abbreviation, misspelling, or other minor variation in the form of the name of a candidate is supposed to be disregarded in determining the validity of a write-in vote, so your vote should be counted even with such imperfections in how you cast it.
A write-in vote is only supposed to be counted on an optical scan ballot if the oval or arrow next to the write-in space is filled in unless the canvassing board is required to determine voter intent, so you risk your vote not getting counted if you write-in a name but fail to fill in the oval or arrow indicating that you are voting for a write-in candidate.
If I were campaigning for a write-in, I would have a detailed conversation with the Supervisor of Elections about the procedures, which I have not, but the above information should give people a good idea of the situation.
The rules cited above can be found at http://election.dos.state.fl.us/laws/AdoptedRules/ElectionsRules.shtml.

9:47 PM yesterday; It's not a joke. I already know 30 people who are voting for her and I haven't even started to work on encouraging others yet.
7:03-
OH PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
I'm the one laughing. It is utterly ridiculous how kelly bashers are so enraged that they did not win on June 5. Reminds me of Al Gore and all of his whining.I find THAT hilarious.
Kelly will win on June 26. The ONLY people so against Kelly are the ones on this blog- maybe a total of 10.
To set the record straight, there are many MORE who are for Kelly. He won fair and square in this American system.
Kelly will hold his own in 2008 as well. He will go to Tallahassee and represent his district with what is needed. A strong mature and experienced voice.
HE IS THE MAN FOR THE JOB!
For the BEST interest of the community, it would be best for the Republican party to unite behind him. Get over your bitterness and LET GO!
Hatred will eat you up inside- proof of this blog and all of its mean, angry and OUT OF LINE comments.
d cranford - happy birthday!
Go nancey stacie!
9:09 am;
TEE HEE!
ANON SAID>>>>The ONLY people so against Kelly are the ones on this blog- maybe a total of 10.
I say>>>> “The ONLY people so for Kelly are the ones on this blog-maybe a total of 2.”
Hey Damon Chick!
You're right this will be an exciting election!! Will people turn out for Nancey Stacey??
I heard that Gov. Christ is coming by the Veteran Memorial for Kurt Kelly and Charlie Dean next Saturday morning. Also, I heard that Bill McCollum, Florida's Attornery General is supporting Kurt Kelly.
I wish Nancee would get these endorsements! Go Nancey Stacey!!
Is this true? The governor is coming next Saturday to show support for Dean and Kelly.What time?
I'm proud of Damon for such a good showing. I voted for Damon on June 5. However, watching this blog over the last several weeks has made me take a better look at Kelly. I will NOW be supporting KELLY. I like what he has to say- addressing the issues. I'm appauled at the nasty rhetoric by some of the Damon people.
To the Kelly supporters, I believe Kelly will win. I know several Damon voters who WILL come out on June 26 and vote for Kelly( just like me).
Go Kelly!
You people get a life!
The Governor is not coming here for Kelly or Dean. Dean's campaign manager arranged this with the provision that the Governor is not appearing to endorse Dean or anyone. He's here to meet the people of Marion County, period!
Trying to attach his visit to an endorsement of Dean and Kelly is pathetic, and shows how out of touch you people are. You don't even need to spend time campaigning. If Kelly is concerned and fearful he is going to lose to a nothing write-in candidate, God help his campaign.
As for McCollum supporting him, I haven't seen his formal endorsement. However, Republicans usually support other Republicans in General Elections. The exception will be yours truly who will stay home on June 26.
I was beginning to feel left out on receiving political phone calls until this afternoon. I got a call from a nice lady who was doing a poll about the district #24 house election. She asked me if I knew the name of the write-in candidate. I told her I did and she asked me to tell her the person’s name, which I did--Nancy Stacy.
She then wanted to know if I knew the process for casting a vote for a write-in candidate. I told her I didn’t and she then asked if I would like to know how to do that. I said yes and she explained how to do it. If I had read the blog this morning I would have already known this since it is already posted above. She politely thanked me for my time and asked me to remember to vote on June 26.
Well, I’m now officially part of the political process, just like some of the rest of you!
ANON 3:15, it's sounds like you need to get a life.
I spoke to some folks who are in the politcal know in Tallahassee yesterday afternoon, and they are telling me this....
Gov. Crist is coming doing to Ocala next Saturday @9:30 AM to meet with people and support Dean and Kelly.
Also, my "in the know" friends mentioned that McCollum and other Republicans are supporting Kelly.
They really like his leadership abilities.
So, as I said earlier, you need to get a life, and accept it that Kelly and Dean are liked in their districts and in Tallahassee.
I received my absentee ballot yesterday, voted, and mailed it in this morning.
Go Kelly and Dean!!!
life is good, you might want to rethink that.
Let's see? Governor coming to Marion county to support Kelly from sources who are in the "political know". Why in gods name would a governor come to support a "special election" candidate whose opponent is a write-in?
One of two things. They are in the "political know" and understand that Kurt cant even get 40% of his own party's vote and actually have to do some work or maybe they could give a rats ass about Kurt since his "leadership skills" have a write-in candidate giving him a run for his money.
I think the gov is just passing thru. Nice try.
EARLY VOTING BEGINS MONDAY:
I'M VOTING FOR CHARLIE DEAN AND NANCY STACY!
6:45- Think about it. Maybe the gov likes kelly and now wears the green.
Nice try to you too.
I bet the Guv will just love old Doughboy. After all, they are cut from the same liberal cloth.
Yo Barney:
"Frank"-ly, I bet you and the Governor would also hit it off real good!
Noticed a couple of Nancy Stacy’s signs that had been at the Citgo station on 441 in Belleview (near the K-Mart) have disappeared after being there for 2-3 days. Could it be she (or her supporters) is moving them around the county to save money? I’m sure her campaign is a low budget operation.
Just a reminder you must fill in the bubble and write-in nancy stacy for your vote to be counted!
Lone Ranger: (aka) Kurt Kelly
Tonto: (aka) Perceptive Voter
------------------------------
The Lone Ranger and Tonto went camping in the desert. After they got their tent all set up, both men fell sound asleep.
Some hours later, Tonto wakes the Lone Ranger and says, "Kemo Sabe, look towards the sky, what you see ?"
The Lone Ranger replies , " I see millions of stars."
What that tell you " asked Tonto.
The Lone Ranger ponders for a minute then says, "Astronomically speaking it tells me there are millions of galaxies
and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time wise it appears to be approximately 3:15 in the morning. Theologically, the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorogically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow."
What's it tell YOU Tonto?"
You dumber than buffalo shit ~ Someone steal tent " said Tonto.
Tonto, you are one smart Indian!
9:48 and 10:13-
Kelly a liberal? NOT- what kind of stuff have you been drinking. Again, this is another one of the kelly basher lies.
10:14- you imagination is very warpped. Get back on your meds and straighten up. That has nothing to do with the upcoming elections.
Kelly will WON and then you'll need to ride off on your ridiculous and mean-spirited horse into the sunset.
Hi Ho Silver!
Go nanciee staciee!
Hey 10:14,
You hit a nerve with those Kelly lovers. They sure are a mean group with no sense of humor. I think the Lone Ranger puff is exactly like Kelly.
Go Nancy, beat the Doughboy!
P.S. to Blogman--nice video.
As of June 11, House District 24 candidate Nancy Stacy was registered as a voter with the Marion County Supervisor of Elections as a Republican.
The Star-Banner ran a story today on the Senate District 3 race that has an accompanying box that erroneously designates Stacy as “no party affiliation.” She is running as a qualified write-in, not a party nominee, meaning that her name will not appear on the ballot and that her party affiliation is not disclosed in advertising disclosures and official communications from the government, but that does not mean she has not declared a party affiliation in her voter registration. The term the Star-Banner has misused, “no party affiliation,” is the government’s official term for someone who has not declared a party affiliation in their voter registration. This is not the case with Stacy. They should have listed her the way she’s listed on the Division of Elections website: Nancy Stacy (WRI).
For anyone who is wondering, no, the fact that I recently purchased voter data does not necessarily mean that I’m involved with advertising in the current House District 24 race or the current Senate District 3 race. Shortly after elections, I routinely purchase snapshots of the Marion County voter data, including voter history, for use in development of predictive models for use at unspecified times in the future, which could be next week or next month or next year or some other time.
2:29-
Oh, I have a sense of humor.
It will be hilarious when you ride off in the sunset as Kelly celebrates a victory on June 26.
Go Kelly! Continue to stand up for what is right as your scoffers have a hissy fit.
Early voting starts tomorrow!
I cast mine for
KURT KELLY and CHARLIE DEAN!
Barney,
Sorry, just cancelled out one of your votes.
I'm voting for Dean & NANCY STACY.
Go Nancy, beat Kelly!
well, my little woman and i just cast two votes for nancy stacy. be sure u spell it rite. dont want her to throw stones at us as she has always done to people with an education.
3:59- Cx out your two votes for Stacie. My brothers will vote for Kelly. All that matters in the end is who is ahead on June 26.
Go Nancie Stacie!
Barney,
Sounds like you are really concerned about this election. you got it in the bag!! Take a breather and get ready for some real action in 2008.
My third cousin by an illegitimate marriage, on my stepmother's side, and his 14 family members are all voting for Nancy. We showed them how to fill out the ballot today. Now if they don't get lost going to the Supv. of Elections tomorrow.
cooter- sounds like you are SUPER concerned about this election.To bring out your family's trash and make it so trite is a hoot.
per 2008- Kind of reminds me of the Gators years ago when after a losing season they would say" wait til next year". It just doesn't cut it.
The Lone Ranger/Tonto post wins as the best of the week on the 10 or so political blogs I visit! I’m borrowing it for use elsewhere. Too bad we don’t have more Tontos.
Sounds like the write-in campaign is going to get interesting. I’ll be checking back in.
You Kelly bashers get over it! What you’re upset about is how Kurt and Nancy outsmarted all of you liberals. Kurt will win big and Nancy will get at best only 10-15 votes. All the discussion on this blog is just wishful thinking.
Kurt is the man and will do a great job in our legislature. Look at how his campaign conducted a great winning effort. He will be just as effective representing us. And you liberals can take that to the bank. He has the smarts over all of you. Kurt for Speaker of the House.
Critic from Belleview--
You think maybe the Kelly campaigners took Nancy's signs. They seem awful worried about her little 'ol write in. Can't understand why they waste time on here if Nancy is only going to get 10-15 votes. Heck, she probaly won't even vote for herself!
What say you?
I notice the rhetoric is getting more modified about Kelly's political future. At one point someone was touting him as the next governor. Now it is the next speaker of the house. I think more realistic is that he just gets appointed to some committee in the house---maybe.
I will tell you what I say,
just left early voting and proudly cast or should I say typed in on the touch screen the name Nancy Stacy.
If the Kurt lovers are right and only 10 people are going to vote for her then consider it one down nine to go.
Get out and vote folks!!!!
Two down and eight to go!
I'm number 3!
Heard Nancy today at a campaign luncheon and she seems excited about possibly getting a free pass to Tallahassee. Her comments shocked me but the crowd agreed with her. They were a bunch of old farts who don't care about us affording our own water. She wants to lower property taxes by selling our water. Can you believe 14 other politicians from coastal areas have offered their support because they despirately need water from us. She also wants a state wide school library book approval process she will push for the first day she gets to tallahassee. I love her library idea but the water deal scares me.
I was going to skip voting since the election for representative is the only one I can vote in. I'm casting my vote for Nancy Stacy. I don't think Kelly or her are what we need representing us. However, she is the lesser of two bad candidates. She deserves Tallahassee and Tallahassee deserves her. It's only for a year.
Barney,
I'm not a Gator's fan so I'll wait until next year. Works for me and we all are still on the line to vote for Nancy S.
10:29- I'm not a gator fan as well. Just an analogy of all those years of the gators saying "wait til next year"..I know you have heard it if you have lived in this gator area for long.
Go Kelly!
10:53- Kelly will win. Not concerned about the future. Kelly will focus on his job as a House of Representative for this area.
Despite the SMALL group of malcontents, Kelly will win on June 26.
Tis amazing to that he has so much support and in how many weeks? 6-7 week- wow! That is fantastic. He must be doing something right. He is meeting with the people and will represent them with the utmost statemanship to include moral convictions and a backbone.
Kurt- we are proud of you! We will celebrate on June 26 and encourage you as you move forward in Tally.
Since it's costing us taxpayers $54,000 to get Nancy on the ballot, let's get something for our wasted money----VOTE FOR NANCY STACY!
Kelly a conservative, can't be or he would have never let this travesty of using taxpayer money happen. Can't trust the guy. Like her or not, Nancy will not hide.
VOTE FOR NANCY!
yep kelly will likely win but not with my vote. and he's no good for marion county. he wont be part of leadership but course leadership got us nothing from baxley so whats the difference: one preacher-singer traded in for a younger preacher-singer. and ur rite, for $54 k that kelly and stacy planned, lets get out moneys worth. we just voted for nancy. go people, vote stacy.
Statesmanship, moral convictions and backbone????
I guess there just comes a point when you have to realize that some people will never understand.
Kurt has accomplished nothing at the school system. He is a follower. Ironically, the only way he will have any chance in 08' in to go to Tally and keep is pontificating mouth shut and ride the wave.
Maybe he wins next week. Maybe he doesn't. This is for sure, the Marion Republicans will never fully unite behind him. Never ever. He is on borrowed time and the small group of individuals who think he is the second coming need to brace themselves.
10:02 anonymous:
you nailed it!
Sorry- you are losers and will continue to be so. Kelly accomplished much on the school board. He will GREATLY missed.
As for being a follower- KURT KRLLY,a man of Christian morals and upstanding convictions would never follow the likes of mosely, herring or crawford. He has and will continue to fight the likes of evil when he sees it.
Sounds like they don't like being called down on the carpet.It will be a pleasure watching you sworm and whine as the heat is turned up.
sorry charlie. we have seen the true kurtie boy in acion, and it aint a pretty site. u can say all u want, but in your heart you know he is a phoney. he will win but not with the approval of the mainstream gop. damn good thing nancy and kurtie conived this write in deal or he wouldn't have some in third.
Barney, let me get this straight. Are you saying that Hering, Mosley and Crawford are evil? Why, because they do not cave in to your buddy Kelly's ideas all the time? If he expects lock step acceptance of everything he says or proposes, he is in for a big surprise with the big boys he will have to deal with in Tallahassee. He will be crushed!
5:59-Correction- We have seen herring, crawford and mosely at work and it is a very dirty and ugly site.kurt has a BIG heart and yu have none.
REPEAT THAT KURT WON ON JUNE 5.
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE FEW KELLY SLAMMER BLOGGERS EAT CROW ON JUNE 26.
7:39-
7;39-Hilarious!
If the shoe fits wear it!
Let's get this straight. Kelly is a fine Christian man. The 3 musketeers are totally the opposite. No- Kelly does sink to their dirtball tactics.
As for Tallahassee, Kelly will Hold his own. He will NOT be crushed! Again, truth will prevail.
Barney, Thanks for admitting what we already knew. I quote you:
"The 3 musketeers are totally the opposite. No- Kelly does sink to their dirtball tactics."
We always knew that Kelly "does sink to dirtball" tactics. Look at what he did to Damon and Parnell.
So who do you think you are Barney to judge the Christianity of Mosley, Herrring and Crawford?
One thing I have never done on this blog is to question anyone's Christian principles. I believe anyone who does is either filled with deep hate or has no other basis to win an argument but to question another's Christian principles.
Correction- Set the record straight.
Kelly DOESNOT SINK TO DIRTBALL TACTICS. I saw what he did to damon and pornell- he beat them on June 5. Actually- PORNELL shot himself in the foot with such a liarious mailer. So don't even go that route- you will lose.
You are making me laugh so hard. I have NO HATRED in my heart. I just don't like to see such liars get away with all their vicious and malious statements about a good person, like Kelly.
As for the threesome,immoral is immoral and that is how they live. Rather sad and pathetic.What kind of fruit is falling from their trees of life? You can say what you want- again- truth will prevail.
GO KELLY-YOU WILL WIN AND YOUR SCOFFERS WILL THEN CRAWL BACK IN THEIR HOLES.
Anger management for you Barney.
GO NANCY, BEAT DOUGHBOY!!
Marion County H.S. graduation rate--worst in Florida.
Great work Kurt!
Hey Barney,
Don't let these morons cloud true issue that Kurt Kelly won on June 5th, and he'll win on June 26th. Nancey Stacey is a very nice lady, but I, too, like Kurt Kelly. He will be a very good State Rep for Ocala/Marion County.
Mr. Pillsbury- you need to learn how to laugh. You sound pitifull.
ANON 11:17
Hmmmmm....what the heck has Herring and Crawford done to improve the graduation rate????
All I hear is Herring and Crawford gripe on this blog. I think you two need to quit "bloggin" and work on "tryin" to help the Class of 2008 have a 100% graduation rate.
I agree with 11:30 PM - Funny how there are 5 school board members but yet Kelly is responsible for everything. Look at the minutes from their meetings or better yet, watch their meetings. Herring is never prepared and Mosley wants to spend miliions on metal detectors! Too bad our school board is a paid position instead of a volunteer board like other states have.
so the kelly doesn't sink to dirty tactics eh? well, first he tried to shaft mosely, lied about having anything to do with alvarez running against her, then begged forgiveness from her when it was time for him to run. he did everything he cud against herring four years ago, and crawford this year. he lied to yancey about the gun felony, hired rocky pennington--for gawd's sake that is enough to show what a scumbag he is. then he let pennington out of the bag with his scandelous phone campaign against townley probably breaking the law with a third party group that is supposed to be entirely apart from the candidate..
yeah, kelly won, and he'll be my representative, but dont think i fell off the watermelon truck last week. kelly is a dirt bag even if he is a christian. funny how christians come in all flavors. i prefer what my parents taught me.
and don't try to tell me he and nancy never talked about her qualifying as a writein.
What garbage !
Clayton Ellsworth
Clayton,
Gald to see you are finally agreeing with those of us supporting Kurt Kelly. All these accusations are "garbage". Thanks for getting on our team.
VOTE FOR KELLY!
Great move Clayton....you are on the winning side!
To "exrecdropout" - Shaft Mosley? She won for God's sake. Just like Kelly so get over it. Herring? Obviously you have forgotten that he did indeed break the law and what an embarrassing mess that was for the WHOLE school board - so embarrassing, that thier attorney has been replaced!
You just got to love the classic Baptist holier than thou attitude of the Kelly camp.
Listen you kurt zombies. Go enjoy your year in the sun. Pontificate in Tally, run with the big boys. Hob-nob and bask in the sunlight.
Just every now and then don't forget to look down at your watch. Cause when the big hand gets to '08..........
I have firsthand knowledge in dealing with Kurt Kelly.
Turn a blind eye if you must but under pressure and backed into a corner he has no time for morals christianity or anything else. I have seen his ways and heard his mouth.
Christian on Sunday at First Baptist but Monday thru Saturday is a different story when it comes to his political career.
Simply has a inferior complex and does a great job covering it up.
Sorry Anon.- not a Baptist, nor a Catholic - I don't pretend to be either. I'm Pro-Choice; no one can dictate to me whom I should support. Especially "bloggers". Zombie? I think not. It's my business whom I vote for. I do not go around telling everyone whom I vote for (unlike you). That is a personal right. You will never know whom I vote for. Many voters tell candidates they will support them; mostly just to be kind, howeve when that curtain is drawn, it's a different story (as demonstated by Parnell's defeat).
Yes voting is personal right.
Although, on one hand you seem proud and confident of your non catholic non baptist pro choice way of life and then on other hand silent about yoru choice of candidates. Yes your choice and so be it.
Then again you may have a point. I wouldn't want to run around and say I voted for kurt either.
anonymous 9:23:
you hit it better than anyone i have read so far. I too have had business dealings with kelly.
who not ask him about the employees who are under indictment yet investigating others. how about all of his businesses that have failed. someone once said churches are for sinners (like me) good thing kurt spends so much time there after he backstabs everyone he comes in contact with.
A few people on this blog have had their issues and debates with Nancy Stacy. However, I’m of the opinion she is a better candidate to fill Mr. Baxley’s State House of Representatives position than Kurt Kelly.
I know there has been joking on the blog about voting for “Howler the Monkey”. Don’t waste your vote on Howler. Seriously, Nancy represents many of the things people on this blog are looking for in an elected official. She is straight forward about her views; isn’t afraid to take a stand on tough issues; knows the problems of our community; doesn’t fear debate; has even occasionally admitted to being wrong; would not cave in to the Tallahassee special interests just to win an election; she is very loyal to her Party, but has friendships with those at the opposite end of her politics. Just a few examples of what Nancy brings to the job.
We would not be getting a typical Kelly type, do-nothing career politician in Nancy. She would fight for the people of Marion County first, and put political career progression on the backburner. Nancy would be a great replacement for that fire-brand political style our Marion County legislative group will be missing since Nancy Argenziano has moved to the PSC.
Republican, Democrat or NPA let’s all get on the bandwagon and write in Nancy Stacy on June 26!
7:37- Points that you mentioned about nancie stacie can be said of kelly as well.
I too have had business dealing with Kelly. It was a pleasure working with him. He was straight forward, to the point, respectful of the issue at hand,responsive,perceptive,level headed ,management minded and a superb problem solver.
Kelly is the man for the house seat. Give our community a voice in Tallahassee and vote Kurt Kelly on June 26.
Nancie is OK, but I vote for Kelly.
anonymous at 7:59 says "I too have had business dealing with Kelly. It was a pleasure working with him. He was straight forward, to the point, respectful of the issue at and,responsive,perceptive,level headed ,management minded and a superb problem solver."
wow! too bad he was none of those, no, not one of those things in his terms as a skool bored member. he rambled excessively, was unrsponsive to problems, and never showed any management skills, and he sure never solved any problems.
happy you had a good experience, but ask people who have had more than one shot at him. they're joining me and voting for nancy.
8:03- I have not just had one business dealing with kelly: I have had many. He is a man of integrity and of his word.
It is my opinion that he calls wrong when he sees it. There must be some inappropriate behavior that he has opposed on the school board. There is a vicious and vendictive hate extreme group that is hitting him hard. He must have struck a nerve when wrong was exposed.
Kurt, many are behind you and will come out on June 26.
Dr. Kelly, please take your meds, watch the last news of the evening and then turn in for the night. Come back tomorrow and defend Kurtie. Maybe you'll have sweet dreams of nice things to post about Kurtie. You and one other person seem the only ones who do.
I thought this section was about Nancy not Kurt Kelly. Here's what we all know:
1. Kurt WILL be elected on June 26 and serve until 2008 when he must run again. Does anyone really think otherwise?
2. Some people love the guy.
3. Some people can't stand the guy.
4. Most people could care less about Kelly, his family, his record, etc. Except for only a very few (3-4) who keep up an ongoing dialogue of no interest to most of us who enjoy the blog.
5. No one on the blog is going to change their mind about Kelly one way or the other.
6. Kelly will be challenged strongly in 2008--that's a given.
7. Move on to discussing the success, or lack of, concerning the campaign to get Nancy elected as a write-in and leave Kelly dangle out there until next year.
9.18, i too have had many encounters business and otherwise with bro kelly, and i know many others who have also had serious business dealings with him. they share my views of him. somebody said long while back on other thread that when you guys start running ur mouth about how good christians you are, he grabs his wife and wallet cause real christians are seen by their actions not their mouth. yeah, kelly is gonna win but if stacy gets 4-500 votes watch out in 08. by the way he would make a good chairman of a committee, the marion county rec ex committee cause he aint gonna get one in tally.
10:01- Who is Dr. kelly??? I responded at 9:18. If you are suggesting that Dr. kelly wrote this on 9:18. YOU ARE WRONG. I don't even know him.
My dad always said that when you assume.... well go find out for yourself. You assumed that I am someone else. Get the facts straight before you assign names to a blog which you have NO idea who I am. TEEEHHEEEE!
This is like laugh hour!!!!
OH_ please answer the question . Who is Dr. Kelly? I'd like to meet him- sounds like we would get along great!
If you are such a Kurt fan then you should know who the Fabulous Dr. Evelyn Kelly is!Nice try Fool!
400-500 votes for Stacy. Hardly, the women will be lucky to get 20 votes, most of those from idiots on this blog. No one knows her or gives a rat's a.. about her. If she gets more than 20 votes then something is wrong with the system.
We'll know for sure how many she gets come June 26. Much more than 20, I predict..
No wonder Kelly left the School Board - when you have to work with people who have no common sense what so ever (come on folks turning off the lights at night in our schools to save money!!!). Actually paying someone to tell them that? Duh. Even us common folks know that. Should have asked me; I wouldn't have charged them a dime. Another embarrasing School Board moment.
Yep, Now Kelly can move to the legislature and push the same program to assure the lights are turned out there. Unfortunately, the lights have been out in that group for many years. Kelly will just add to the lights out culture. Are you saying Kelly did not support what the Board agreed on this program? Better check your minutes
What "minutes" are you referring to? I was referring to the article in the paper with Mosley's quote. Didn't realize a vote was needed in order to turn off lights when not in use. Just plain common sense. Hey blogmaster; a new straw poll for you: how many people turn off their lights in their home when not in use?
Stacy won't get more than 20 votes ? If she does something is wrong with the system.
Narrow minded individual you are my friend.
you think less than 20 people have a problem with Kurt??
Voting or not, winning or not, Kurt is on thin ice and you every kurt lover and Kurt himself cant get that thru your head.
STRAW POLL
Final results will be posted Saturday PM. Here is an update (66 participants):
82% WILL vote for Nancy Stacy
18% WILL NOT vote for Nancy Stacy
7:42- "Nice try Fool" wow that is so interesting. Again, you are assuming- what a bad egg you are.
I don't know Kelly that well and who are you? I certainly don't know who Dr. Kelly is. If you are such a BIG dude, why don't you give your name or are you a coward?
I recommend at you go see a shrink- dude- you have a BAD TEMPER. Please stop- my side is hurting because I'm laughing so much. You have motivated me to call kelly and volunteer my services over the upcoming weekend. Maybe I will get to meet Kelly and this ominious Dr. Kelly.
As for the straw poll - do you believe that this blog is a fair and balanced source?
It's bias, slanderous, malicious, vicious and hate sprewing un truths against Kurt are horrendious.
Kurt may lose this blog poll,but he will win on Tuesday- that's the ONLY poll that matters.
GO KELLY!
Hey Barney - of coarse it is biased! I just wish the "blogmaster" would state the rules (being if you like Kelly, Baxley...do not blog here; you are not welcome). Remember, only 66 people voted! They only have about 100 members so what does that tell you? The only reason I started blogging here or even knew about this site was during the election last year when I got a phone call stating "hey, you should read the crap they are saying about Dave Alvarez". I was shocked at the lies that were told: not spanish, his father really isn't his father, he bankrupted Microdyne...on an on. I know that family and NONE of it was true. Just crap started by PWF and Bobbie D to try and discredit him because they were Mosley lovers. Now they do the same with Kelly. As long as the "bashing bloggers" continue with their heresay, there will be still be a few of us to defend what we know to be true. It really pisses them off that there are "invaders" on their blog.
"Pro-Choice"
i just wish what you said was one-quarter true.
Hey Blogmaster - The whole write in for Nancy campaign being discussed is a ruse. There is no backlash. I predict fewer actual votes for Nancy on Tuesday than the number she garnered in your poll. Support for this movement will vanish quicker than PWF and Bobbie D have, on this blog.
"Pro-Choice"
So Anonymous 7:16 - "i just wish what you said was one-quarter true".
Please point out the 75% that is not true. And prove it! This is exactly the kind of nonsensical, unsubstantiated claims I was talking about.
FEAR THE BLOG!
Notice how some of the people seem to know all about how many people view the blog. They most likely don't know jack s... about it!
If the blog is so unimportant and no one looks at it, why do some of you folks keep coming back? Duh!
I wouldn't know Kirt Kelly if I ran into him. I do know much about Damon Baxley and that he is a fine, young Christian man who has a great future in politics. It's just a matter of time.
Damon is the type of future politican who many on this blog should really get to know.
New to Blog,
We don't see you giving your name. So don't bash others for what you are also doing.
Not one supporter of Kelly has revealed their name. At least we know who Bobby D, PWF, Nancy Stacy and a few others are. If
The reason no names are being revealed is that only one or two people post all the Pro-Kelly comments. Why don't you check that out Blogmaster?
The Kelly group are gutless and don't have anywhere near the courage of those who provide their names.
I came onto this blog a year or so ago to discuss issues, not Kurt Kelly. One of the reasons I'm voting for Nancy Stacy is because of her courage.
I don't know and don't care what is said about Kelly. I'm not voting for him because I just don't think he will be a good State rep. and rather than not voting at all, I will vote for Nancy.
Hey Anony. 7:45 - What's the difference between posting as "I'm a Liberal" and posting as Anonymous? Typical liberal hypocrite!
I can’t stand Nancy Grace or Keith Olbermann, so I don’t watch their programs.
Suggest those who don’t like what’s said on the blog do what I do with good old Keith and Nancy and just “tune out”.
Better yet do what one of the local talk show hosts (who I no longer listen to) told those who didn't like what he had to say: "start your own talk show". I'd translate that to start your own blog.
I'll give it a try to see what it has to offer. Others might do the same. Let us know when you get your blog started.
GREAT ADVICE!
WE CAN ALWAYS USE ANOTHER BLOG IN TOWN.
Will someone answer my question from 11:30 PM, June 19, 2007???
What the heck has Herring and Crawford done to improve the graduation rate????
Apparently, Herring and Crawford spend all their time on this blog during working hours and not helping the students of Marion County.
I'll answer the question. They have done the same thing as Kelly, Mosley and Zanetti--absolutely NOTHING!
That's why Kelly does not deserve to even be considered for any elected office. I would not vote for him for county dog catcher.
This board is a joke and Doughboy is the biggest joke (no pun intended) among them.
And a P.S.:
GO NANCY! If you get the same number of votes as on the blog poll, that's fine with me. Since all the Kelly chumps have already said it will be a miracle if she gets 20 votes.
We'll know on Tuesday. "20" is the vote count NS has to beat to have some people on this blog eating crow. Get out and vote fellow bloggers.
ANON 11:26
Since the School Board hasn't done anything, why don't you run for Crawford's or Herring's position?
Better off, why don't you put in your application to Gov. Charlie for Kelly's position? Hey, even better, why don't you write a letter to Gov. Charlie requesting that he replace all the members????
If no one School Board member has done anything, then, quit pointing out a particular person. In fact, you should be pointing the finger at the Chairman Crawford for not being a leader and getting stuff accomplished.
d cranford- BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
superbly stated! You get the blog award for the week! WOW!!
What have mosely, crawford and herring accomplished as school board members? THE TRUTH WILL PREVAIL. The closet doors need to be opened and and house cleaning needs to occur. I hope the voters will look at each of them individually and see what worthless and ineffective these three are. Voters KICK THEM OUT ON THEIR TAILS!
I have a kid in hs and IT maybe too late for my family- but for the FUTURE-SLAM DUNK THEM OUT -MARION COUNTY- COME ON-SEE THE TRUTH!
anon last night sed So Anonymous 7:16 - "i just wish what you said was one-quarter true".
Please point out the 75% that is not true. And prove it! This is exactly the kind of nonsensical, unsubstantiated claims I was talking about.
7:30 PM, June 21, 2007
lets see, i checked and proved the vanguard incident, the gun incident, the recruitment of others to run against skool bored members, the anti catholic comment, the connction of kelly to stacy, his collection to the tally consultant who can only win with dirt. that prolly amounts to 85-90 of what has been sed abt kelly. now, lets have ione lie against him.
anon this morning sez I have a kid in hs and IT maybe too late for my family- but for the FUTURE-SLAM DUNK THEM OUT -MARION COUNTY- COME ON-SEE THE TRUTH!
7:27 AM, June 22, 2007
shud't try to blame the skool bored for ur failure in parenting.
weeee!!!!
weee!!!!!
weee!!!!!
All the way home!
TEEE HEEEE!
Go Nancy! We love you. Only 20+ votes and the Kelly supporters will be eating their own words.
7:27 AM: I ask you the same question, what have Doughboy and "Thank You" Zanetti accomplished---the answer is nothing.
Just 20 votes for Nancy and it's defeat for the Kellys. Get to the polls you write-in voters.
11:34 and 8:90- Look Dude! You just don't get it. It doesn't matter if NS gets 20 or 200 votes. If Kelly gets one more- he wins!
Course:VICTORY 101- remember- a "wins is a win". Go check out your favorite sports team- if they win by 1 pt - it goes in the "W" column.
Who cares about the #20 mentioned in earliers blogs! I'm waiting for the BIG win on Tuesday.
I'll smile amd watch all of you hate-filled and mean-spirited kelly bashers "EAT CROW" and
I'll watch the appts lines of ocala's shrinks light up!
exrecdropout-
Hey- I have fine parenting skills. How bout you?
My kid is a 4.0 student.The another in college! Failure is not an issue. See- the personal attacks will not work! Go find someone else to bully.
Rid the school board of dead beats- Marion county- please kick crawford, mosely and herring out on their________!!!!!!
d cranford- YOU ROCK!
You're right- why won't someone answer the question about Herring, mosely and crawfords accompishment?
Are they out of self or servants ?
They are self-servicing school board members not servants of the people (PERIOD)
Barney,
Would you stop playing with yourself. I think it is making you crazy.
Also, 20 votes was all Nancy would get and that was going to show us how strong Kelly is. Now it is pooh pooh on 20 and you don't care how many Nancy gets. Sounds like you are admitting that the write-in vote may be stronger than you guys thought. Typical flip flopping, just like the guy you all support.
Champ, Barney, Parents for Kelly, D. Cranford
All the same person. You bet! The only friend Kelly has.
barney, parents for kelly (aka Dave Alvarez)
You said the truth will prevail. Well it sure did last year when you ran (with Kurt's Help) and got WAXED by Mosley.
And yes barney as the previous post said, first Nancy will only get 20 votes and then the statement a win is a win.
'08 is coming fast my friends. Enjoy your year Kurt.
cooter(exrecdropout, sweet dreams, on the bandwagon, mr. pillsbury,etc) which one will you be next?
you are wrong- I'M NOT ALL THE NAMES OF ALL THE OTHER KELLY SUPPORTERS!
HOWEVER,I DO LIKE THEM!I would love to meet them.
You think? For sure- all the above are the same person. Nice try!After Tues,one can refer to you as loser!
Do you know kelly to know all of his FRIENDS? INTERESTING!
Keep the good work pro Kelly bloggers. Someone needs to hold them accountable for their lies and intentional twisted and misleading statements which is the main theme of this blog.
GO KURT!
PARTY! PARTY! PARTY!
I always thought Alvarez was posting under aka's.
He and Kelly are both wimps. They got their butts beat by a woman (Sue M.) and can't get over it. Maybe a woman will come forward to run against Kelly in 2008. Wouldn't that be something, beaten twice by a female! Those two guys would have to consider leaving the area.
Sorry MR. ANON. 9:21 - I am not Mr. Alvarez. Just can't stand the fact that other's don't share your aduration of Mosley. Yes, he did indeed get beat. Yes, by a women. And aren't you proud of whom you elected? Ever been to Mako's bar and grill?. Yep, you should be very proud that we have someone of her intelligence and character representing our schools.
Yep, I'm very proud of her. Better than Fat Boy Alvarez any day of the week. Too bad Alvarez had to stoop to the depths of dirty campaigning and it backfired on him. Never trusted him and Kelly and never will.
Proved Herring was wrong or did you forget that little fiasco? My, my, what name calling. Shows me what kind of person you are and where you stand on morality. Too bad he didn't stoop to dirty politics or her Catholic following would have roasted her. Gosh if you are this defensive after a win I can't imagine what you would have done if she lost.
Oh and when you nothing better to do, you might want to check you light bill. Seems you can save thousands by turning them off when nobody is home.
kelly supporter sed "Keep the good work pro Kelly bloggers. Someone needs to hold them accountable for their lies and intentional twisted and misleading statements which is the main theme of this blog."
for one time, please dear gawd let them tell us what lies and intentional twisted and misleading statements?
u guys accuse eveyrone of everything but you never give an example. looks to me like 85-90 percent has been proven and ur efforts to say not go fer naught.
and since ur gonna win what you so deferensive and abusive for?
Would someone enlighten me about this Sue Mosely and Mako's bar and grill? I have no clue what Mako's is. What kind a of woman do we have on the school board?
I had a few minutes to kill before an appointment Friday afternoon and stopped by the Marion County Supervisor of Elections office to see how the turnout was going in the District 24 State House race.
The turnout among eligible voters (only Republicans) for the District 24 special primary was 18.2 percent. In the special general election, all registered voters in District 24 registered by the May 29 deadline, regardless of party identification, are eligible to vote. As of 2:50 PM on Friday, a little over 2 percent of these voters had cast ballots either by returning absentee ballots or early voting.
I would offer 8 percent as a guesstimate for the final District 24 turnout in the special general election. In that case, about 40 votes would give Stacy 0.5 percent and equal the best performance for a state house race write-in exclusively responsible for closing a primary since the 1998 open primary constitutional amendment. About 360 votes would give her the same percentage county commission write-in candidate Ben Klein got in 2004 while running an active campaign. I’ve not seen evidence Stacy is running an active campaign.
Nearly half of District 24 registered voters are also eligible to vote in the State Senate District 3 race. One caveat is that some of these voters, especially Democrats, might choose to vote in the Senate District 3 race where there is a Democrat on the ballot, but not vote in the District 24 State House race where there is only one name on the ballot and both qualified candidates are Republicans. To the extent this happens, it will reduce the number of votes Stacy needs to reach a given percentage of the vote in her race for a given turnout level for voters residing in District 24.
Makos is a great place to eat! I have seen some of the young Republicans who supported Damon there. Don't believe all that you read on the blog about the place. I have also seen Sue Mosley there. So what?
I've seen Alvarez, or his twin brother, at Hooters. I think no less of him. Hooters also has good food.
Some people need to tread lightly on these value judgments of where someone should or should not be seen. Could open up a pandoras box on my good Christian friends who blog here.
Damonchix, stop in a check out Makos. You might meet some of your friends there.
To "Better Try Mako's" - You are a riot! Nothing at all wrong about dining there; working there as a bar maid is a different story. Hey maybe Mr. A is part owner of Hooter's. After all if you own part of a business it would look bad if you never ate there right? He doesn't look as good in the uniform as Moseley does though.
Thanks Brian Creekbaum. That 20 vote figure the Kelly supporters keep touting as the most Stacy will get may very well be in jeopardy. If even half of the pro-Stacy voters in the Blog Straw Survey can vote, she has 30 in the bag! Of course this being an unimportant Blog, think about all the possible Stacy voters outside of the meaningless homeless Blog. It could be mind boggling!
GO STACY!
Man, Ms. Stacy may have a better chance than I thought. Could get interesting. Low voter turnout helps her.
Damon chix,
grow up! what? we are now going to require that politicians only eat at certain establishments? Ken Ergle ate at piccadillys 5 times a week.
Of course you have no clue what makos is so you probably have never heard of ken ergle either.
Big deal if Mosley is barmaid, owner, or just the marketing consultant for Makos. Hell, if I had to sit by Kurt kelly every other week I would probably need to be near a bar myself!! Drinking or working or something.
Go nancy!!!!!
Here is an interesting homework assigment.
Due some investigation and look into all the businesses of Crawford, Hering, Zanetti, Mosley, Kelly.
Guess who leads in defunct businesses???
I will give you a head start barney and parents for kelly. It aint Crawford, Hering, Zanetti, or Mosley.
But of course the one I left out is the one we need in tally because of his talents vision and moral eptitude and leadership skills.
This comment has been removed by the author.
A clarification…
The sentence in my post above:
“In that case, about 40 votes would give Stacy 0.5 percent and equal the best performance for a state house race write-in exclusively responsible for closing a primary since the 1998 open primary constitutional amendment.”
Would also have been accurate if worded more broadly:
“In that case, about 40 votes would give Stacy 0.5 percent and equal the best performance for a state LEGISLATIVE race write-in exclusively responsible for closing a primary since the 1998 open primary constitutional amendment.”
This is because the history I cited in a June 12 post to a related thread is for 599 state legislative races (House and Senate, not just House), 38 of which were closed exclusively because a write-in qualified for the race.
Don't think the comments had anything to do with "eating" at establishments. Even I can read between the lines. No one cares where they dine so don't try to bring other names into the discussion that have nothing to do with the comment. Typical though. Skirt the issue. Good try though. I know I would need a drink or two, or three...if I had to be on a board with a man who can not read and women who wants to spend millions on metal detectors (although there should be plenty of money left over after all the savings on the electric bills).
Dying to know what "defunct" business you are talking about. Please enlighten us all.
Brian - thanks for the info. Would love for Nancy to run locally. Maybe take Sue's place on the Board when she runs for Supervisor of Elections. She's got a great start.
go to dept of state, businesses, search fer kurt kelly, and see what a business success he has been. the 1 he now hires someone under criminal charges to handle background nvestigations has been in business longer than rest, none very successful.
This blog is "so high school".
I don't care were people eat or hang out.
No one has answerd my question, what has the Chairman Crawford and Member Herring done on the School Board?
Just a note, I'm not Barney, Parent for Kelly, Champ, Dr. Kelly, or a.k.a Dave Alvarez.
they have done abt the same thing as kelly.--nuttin! after all, most people know the skool bored is so dysfunctional, we're better off when they do nuttin. saw one survery that showed mosley as the most effective, herring next, then crawford, and least effective a tie between zanetti and kelly. leadership skills learned in military call for more than just talking. that's why kurtie will be lost in tally--they all talk and aint nobody gonmna listen to ma kelly's little boy kurtie
Which branch of military did Kelly serve in to learn his lesadership? I was under the impresion he was one of those Republicans who talks a good game about the military but never served a day. Is that not so.
city guy- I understand that Kelly did not serve in the military.
So what-not all Americans serve in the military but can show respect and support for the guys and girls fighting for our freedoms.That's what Kelly does and NO ONE can dispute that!
You are a joke questioning his serve. You can't question his patriotism. He was taught love of God and country. So get off you twisted horse.
Mega veterans are supporting him. One can see that kelly loves this county that why he is headed to Tally to FIGHT in this level of services as a PUBLIC SERVANT!
9:03- I am barney!
Not Dave Alvarez! You called me DAVE ALVAREZ!
You sound abit unstable calling me someone I don't even know. I sounds like you have alot of anger. I liked what someone said earlier about the anger management- maybe you need to enroll to get a grip.
What is SOOO funny is that some of you bloggers are AKA this and AKA that and you really DON"T know the folks on this blog.AMAZING!
THIS IS HILARIOUS INDEED!
So City Guy - What branch of the service did you serve in? Leadership qualities are found in many areas, not just the military. Our own Sheriff did not serve in the military. Does that not make him a good leader? Grabbing at straws again....
Hey Barney - Haven't you noticed that whenever anyone disagrees with a post then bloggers decide who you are? Of coarse they too are anonymous. Just because you post as "other" a give yourself a blog name, doesn't mean squat. Anyone can make up a name and many do. This blog is run by one of the small local radio stations, so that should give you a clue as to whom blogs here even without their "real" names.
Stand up and be counted, show the world that you're a man. Vote for Nancy.
U.S. Navy 1963-67.
I now know why Kelly didn't serve. FSU cheerleaders are exempt from military service. At least that's what I'm told.
Sorry for even bringing up the subject>
Anon 8:39 and 8:53- Ditto- you hit it right on the nose! BRAVO!!
Oh by the way 9:01- What if I'm a woman? You sound sexist!
GO KELLY!
Voice of Reason asks........
Moderator - can we have a blog on the School Board appointment? Please? That would be fun.
Nancy needs 21 votes and her campign will be deemed a success. Sorry Kelly folks you set the bar as to what would be a good voter turnout for the write-in.
GO NANCY! DEFLATE THE DOUGHBOY!
8:53 has outed john lund and woca, but i kinda like woca and i think it is great they are sponsoring this blog. it is a good lesson in how people can't get along without sniping and calling names. thanks for the blog woca.
12:00- The Kelly campaign will be a success with a WIN on tuesday.
21 or 201 votes for Nanciee- so what if Kelly gets on more.
A win is a win and it will shut the kelly bashers up. HOORAY!tqx
correction for 12:20- that's ONE MORE VOTE FOR KELLY WILL BE A WIN OVER nanciiie- DOESN'T MATTER IF SHE GETS 20 OR 201. DO YOU GET IT?
Go take a Civics class to review elections and their outcomes.
A couple of bloggers have tried to “assume” the identity and sign in name of other bloggers. We have had e-mail complaints about this and examples of posts where this has occurred. Please stop the practice. You know who you are. If it continues, we will reveal the incidents and this may prove a bit embarrassing for the individual you are trying to help with your comments.
Please cooperate.
So all the bragging about Nancy not getting more than 20 votes is no longer important. Could it be you are beginning to realize that many voters really don't like your boy Kelly and the issue is not whether he wins, but the fact he isn't popular enought to stop people from writing in in sizable numbers (by election standards).
That's reality, something no Kelly sups. on the blog understand or want to accept.
Go Stacy!
Blog master- thanks for taking control of this issue.
1:12- Kelly supporters will be very content to see kelly win on Tuesday. That's all that matter!
Why won't you accept the fact that one vote over the opponent is considered a "win"?
The reality again, when KELLY wins- he will be declared the winner.
Are you willing the acknowledge and accept the reality of your lose and hatred for Kelly?
GO KELLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Briefly testing my blogger account. Sorry for the interruption.
I’ve seen this stolen identity problem brought up on the Politically Homeless blog more than once in the past couple of years. I suggest people having this problem consider creating a registered account such as mine that is password protected.
I registered my real name as the display name of my registered account a few days after this blog started in 2005. On my screen and, I assume, on the screens of others, all the posts from my registered account are highlighted as hyperklinks. I’ve always wondered if the system would block people from posting under “Other” from using my name. The answer is “no” because I did a test post above using my real name without going through my registered account, but you could tell any future such post was a fake because that test post does not appear as a hyperlink as do posts from me from my account.
Since my display name is also my very rare, if not unique, real name, anyone posing as me would potentially be subject to legal action, an additional deterrent to misuse of my display name.
Blogman: We all have a good idea who is assuming names.
TEE HEE!!
Went to Governor Charlie Crist’s appearance at Veteran’s Park this morning. I wanted to hear what he had to say about Kurt Kelly. Several of you on the blog had mentioned he was coming to Ocala to endorse Mr. Kelly. I didn’t hear a word about Mr. Kelly. Heard about Charlie Dean and Ken Pruitt (Senate Head) and how much the Governor appreciates them. About Mr. Kelly, absolutely nothing mentioned!
It was worth standing in the hot sun watching the ceremony to confirm what we heard throughout the whole campaign from Mr. Kelly---much hype but no substance to the claims.
By the way, attendance was not that good. There were more dignitaries sitting in their nice sun protected chairs than us common folk basking in the hot sun.
So City Guy - You served in the Navy? Didn't the "Village People" have a song about that? What have you got against cheerleaders? Male or female; who cares. I was a cheerleader and darn proud to support our teams. It's called school spirit and in my day (now I sound like PWF) we were looked upon as leaders. Get off the cheerleading bashing.
To Sonny - One blogger mentioned about Christ coming to Ocala endorsing/mentioning Kelly. So what. Don't try to make a big deal out of one comment by one blogger. The papers clearly stated what Christ's visit was for. Wonder why there was a poor turnout? Because it was only a publicity visit. Nothing more. Certainly not worth my time, as I knew why he was coming to Ocala; just to show his face.
Thank you Blogmaster - So tired of bloggers assuming whom everyone is and trying to claim that comments are made by certain people when they are not. There should be a way to do "other" and not have another person be able to assume that name. In fact, if you got rid of "Anonymous" and people had to sign in as "other" or blogger, that probably would get rid of the problem. That way people could still be "anonymous" (unless they choose to sign their real name) but no other person could use the "other" name once it was used. Not sure how to do it, but I do know it can be done.
Notice how the Kelly people always poor mouth everything that doesn't come out the way they say. I heard that Crist would be endorsing from four different spots on this blog and three of Kelly's contributors.
If Crist had even mentioned Kelly's name, that would have been interpreted as his endorsement.
You people are unbelievable!
GO NANCY!
7:17 PM
Let me be sure I've got this straight. If only one blogger says something, then it's not important.
So, pray tell, why do you spend so much time here battling and disputing (frequently in a rude manner) statements made about Kelly by only one person?
Really Anony. 7:29? You are the one that is unbelievable. So who are those three contributors that made the comment? Another false statement made by a Kelly hater. I certainly was not "poor mouthing". Do you even bother to read what people write? I stated I could care less why Christ was here; period. Whether he endorsed anyone does not mean anything to me. Yes, I voted for Dean; yes I voted for Kelly; still doesn't matter to me if Christ endorses them or not. Did I vote for Christ? No. Quit putting words into people's mouths.
To Pray Tell - I don't think I am rude at all. You don't think using words like "doughboy" and "fat boy Alvarez" are rude comments? Of coarse you don't because they are aimed at folks you dislike. I was responding to his comment that "several" people made a big deal about Christ endorsing Kelly. What is true is one person made that comment. Not three, four....Never said that people's comments weren't important; just don't exaggerate the numbers. Be fair about what you are commenting about. Again, putting words into my mouth. All I care about is being truthful.
How do you know how much time I spend on this blog? Could it be that you are one of the folks the "blogmaster" was talking about?
Sonny----Another good reason to vote for NANCY STACY. She could give a flying flip whether or not Crist or any Tallahassee politicians endorsed her at Veteran Park or anywhere.
Also, looks like someone is trying to be cute (rude) by misspelling Governor Crist's name. It is not CHRIST. Stop making fun of it, especially the way you spelled it!
Yes sir/madam you are rude and crude and reflect poorly on Kelly by doing what you did.

You both need to learn how to spell the governor's name. Perhaps you are only one person, not two. What's the probability of two people consecutively misspelling a name?
Now who's playing posting games?
Kelly supporters are not to be trusted!
@ 8:50 pm,
You called that right. NC could give a s... about who endorses her. We need her in Tallahassee.
I'm a kelly supporter and I'm trustworthy.
Kelly probably knew why the gov was here. It probably didn't bother him at all.
Ever thought that the gov thought that kelly has this one sewed up. I didn't hear him endorse staciee either.
Okay so I spelled Crist's name wrong. Big deal. Not making fun of him at all. And yes I can post twice as Anony. just as you do. My God, if you want to do spell check on everyone then let's do it. Let's start with the first post and go from there: hpolding, stacey, asdn, Nancie's, nancie staci, nancey, kely, whining, malious, Christ (and not posted by me), Nancey Stacey, ur rite, despirately, sed, Ms. Stacy (it's Mrs.), gawd, aint, sez, cud, yoru, abt, Nanciee, nanciiie..do I need to really go on? What a ridiculous comment.
You represent everything I have seen in those supporting K. Kelly and probably reflect him also:
"rude, crude, arrogant and needlessly sarcastic for someone who seemingly has an election sewed up."
Keep going with your nonsensical comments, and you'll give many of us reason to come after him even more so in 2008. I have never liked gloating winners. Of course, I guess he hasn't really won yet and that's why you continue to rant on in his defense.
I'm not voting for him or Stacy. They are both duds. My hope is on a good candidate surfacing in 2008.
Am I angry? You bet! I'm angry that my Republican Party has nothing better to offer than these two nothings on the ballot. Just terrible!
OK KELLY FAMILY...TAKE YOUR MEDS, BRUSH YOUR TEETH AND TURN IN FOR THE EVENING, GO TO CHURCH TOMORROW AM AND WE'LL LOOK FOR SOME MORE OF YOUR ENTERTAINING COMMENTS SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
YOU HAVE HAD A GOOD DAY BLOGGING. ABOUT 10-15 COMMENTS POSTED TODAY. YOUR POOR FINGERS MUST BE VERY TIRED!
Hey ANON @ 11:35 (aka Angry Dudes). You thought that you would be funny with your last comment. Well, you're not funny at all. In fact, you're being very childish.
I turned in my absentee ballot and voted for Dean and Kelly. Just because some people on this blog support Dean and Kelly, it doesn't mean that we are related to them.
By the way, Crist didn't mention Stacy either this morning.
Go take your "needed" meds, grow up, and mellow out!!!
The Star Banner called it correctly. Kelly is a participant in a "sham election". Very fitting description for a sham candidate.
A few days ago we were hearing that Nancy would be lucky to get 20 votes. Now we are hearing that if Kelly beats her by one vote that’s a good victory. What a change in positions. From massive victory to barely winning. I sense desperation in all the blogging going on right now for Kelly.>>>A really uncertain group of followers.>>>Maybe they should be.
tis a sham election cause kelly and stacy wanted to make sure the majority of people didn't have a chance to make a choice. i dunno how many votes stacy will get but it will be a helluva lot more than 20. i think it would be fantastic if she won. it wud show just how ineffective the local REC is, and maybe we'd get a new chair person who wud lead instead of just allow people like stacy to rant and rave. gawd bless nancy in her new job. marion county gets what it deserves in either one of em.
Face it- the Ocala Banner is a mullet wrapper and is a sham itself. This comment from the star banner about this election being a sham sure does insult the voters in this county.
Anything affiliated with the news times doesn't get my respect. Too bad there is no competition- the star blunder would be out.
The Star-Banner comment doesn't insult the voters at all. It insults Kelly and Stacy who created this SHAM of an election!
The People's Representative: Vote For Nancy Stacy on Tuesday, June 26. She will fight for our County!
been there- How did Kelly create this "so-called" sham? He is running for a seat. He says he has nothing to do with ns being a write-in candidate and I believe him.
It is so interesting how the kelly bashers say "Everything" is Kelly's fault. That is such an irresponsible way of thinking.
He has the right to run like anyone else.
Kelly is the mature and strong voice that we need to represent our county.
Think about it- the star blunder(banner) is a "SHAM" and a sorry excuse for a paper.I have decided to cx my subscription over their continued liberal slant on many stories.
I encourage other conservatives to think about doing the same. We need to send a message to this arrogant and onesided liberal group at the blunder.
I will cast my vote for KELLY on Tuesday!
