Mike Snow!
State Rep. Mike Snow (D - Chickamauga) won his 3rd race for re-election to the House yesterday. Hey, 2 out of 3 ain't bad. Snow's victory is encouraging for local Democrats if for no other reason than the sitting Republican governor stayed away during the campaign for fear his presence would actually hurt the Republican challenger. It's nice to see that the taint of state and national political figures can cut both ways for the local boys back home.
The press goes out of its way to label Snow a conservative Democrat, and if you're new to politics and you're wondering exactly how that's possible, this Snow quote goes a long way to giving you an explanation:
- "They’ve asked me to switch to the Republican Party," Snow said. "I wouldn’t do it. I’ve gone too long now. People like [Republican lawmakers] Don Parsons and Charlie Bannister are good friends of mine, but too many of them are like Ralph Reed, with that blow-dried hair. I just can’t go with that. They’re the most dangerous people in the country and right now they’ve got a lot of power. But to my dying day, I’ll stand against that kind of politics."
