Please come and if you are not a Landings resident let me know and I will place your name on a list at the main gate.
The current serving DA has now been sued for sex bias. He is a lousy administrator and an incompetent. People have left his office in droves and Savannah has a serious crime problem.
The former occupier of that office, who served our community well, Spencer Lawton, is a supporter of Meg's.
For these and many more reasons, I am supporting Meg Heap who is running to succeed Larry Chisholm.

It would appear Romney's wins reveal he would make a better dentist than presidential candidate because every victory is like pulling teeth.
One could argue, based on his past achievements and proven ability, he might be the best qualified once he became president. The problem is, as a nominee, he just ain't getting through to voters.
At this point, I say go for a 'Hail Merry Mary', nominate old Newt and get ole Sarah as his VP and let the fun times begin.
Maybe George Will is right after all - lose now win later. Four more years of Obama would probably bury Democrats for quite some time but then the same would happen to our Republic as he and his administration bankrupt the nation.
Last night we had dinner with two friends who are emotionally liberal but quite bright and though they have a faded view of Obama, whom they voted for, they cannot bring themselves to vote for what the Republicans are dishing up either.
In the final analysis, it seems Republicans wives in Indiana, New Jersey and Florida kept better candidates from running. (See 1 and 1a below.)

1)Krauthammer: Romney A "Relatively Weak Frontrunner"
"Ohio determines who gets the headlines tomorrow. If Santorum were to pull it out, if he had a miracle with the last counts of the vote, it would be a big Santorum night with Romney winning he'll get headlines but it doesn't change the big picture which has been that Romney, slow, steady and collecting delegates and the wins he's winning, is a relatively weak frontrunner," Charles Krauthammer said on FOX News tonight.
"Romney is on his way but it's going to be a painful, long trip. And he gets weaker, not stronger, I think, with every week," Krauthammer said.
