Augusta Board of Supervisors Race.....

The Staunton News leader has a nice feature on the races in the district; video footage of the candidates in short interviews. I looked forward to seeing the candidates....but:

Travis Smithdeal: "I have been trying to figure out how to squeeze an hour out of this campaign schedule and regular work schedule and family life and just cannot find it." Will you find time to actually govern this county?

Michael Shull: "I won't get a fair shot. You're bias (sic)" It is a change to present yourself to the voters. How is appearing on video to tell YOUR message biased?

Jeremy Shifflett: Didn't show; came up with a lame excuse.

It look to me like the three republican candidates, supported by the Augusta Rebulican Commitee, are dancing to the tune of the same drummer. The News Leader is the only daily paper in this part of the county; that you would shun them for endorsements and interviews tells me that you would shun all voters that are not part of the little club run by Kurt Michael.
