Williams vs. Melvin?

by David Safier

I've heard rumors to this effect over the past month, and I guess Tedski has heard them as well.

A question fresh from the rumor mill: is Vic Williams contemplating a primary run against Al Melvin?

It would certainly make things interesting up here in my LD.

A SIDENOTE: About a week ago, I posted about Melvin referring to himself as a moderate and calling 2 Republican legislators who voted against budget measures "loser-tarians."

Tedski picked up the line in the post about the possible Williams-Melvin smackdown. But even more interesting, Ron Gould, one of Melvin's "loser-tarians," was a bit peeved by the designation. Seems he thinks old nanny-state Al shouldn't be calling other Republicans names.

Let the games begin continue.

AND FURTHERMORE: It looks like LD-26 is becoming clogged with Republican moderates these days. Both Williams and Melvin claim the title. Which leaves a real opening for Trent Humphries to come in and run as the true conservative and expose those RINOS for what they are. Or even better, Humphries should take the lead from his Florida compatriots and make "Tea Party" an official political party to compete head-to-head against both the sell-out parties. It's time to take a firm, courageous stand.
