Looks like Gerry Purcell won big time.
The poll itself is still running over at Peach Pundit but I've made a command decision to call the event a clean win for republican candidate Gerry Purcell. He has an nearly overwhelming 46% of the votes cast so far and is uncatchable unless one of the other candidates can mobilize an astroturf effort to flood the zone.
Here are the results:
If the Republican Primary for Commissioner Of Insurance were held today, for whom would you vote?
Dennis Cain 1% (18 votes)
Rick Collum 0.2% (4 votes)
Seth Harp 29% (513 votes)
Ralph Hudgens 8.3% (146 votes)
Tom Knox 3.2% (56 votes)
John Mamalakis 0.8% (14 votes)
Stephen Dale Northington 1.5% (26 votes)
Gerry Purcell 46.1% (815 votes)
Maria Sheffield 6.8% (121 votes)
Undecided 3.1% (55 votes)
Total Votes: 1,768
Hopefully this online poll is not reflective of the election on the 20th, I've said it before and I'll say once more, I really want Maria Sheffield on the ballot. Not Gerry Purcell.

Why on earth would you want NOxendine's candidate to win?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
ReplyDeleteI believe that I'll do better in a race that features a republican female vs a democrat female. Being the only male candidate in the Insurance Commissioner race should translate into 20% of the ballots cast. If I am successful in reaching the Libertarian fiscal conservative base and effective in our appeal to our second amendment brothers, I think I could tack another 15% onto the vote and wind up in the run off I will cause. That would be a big victory for Liberty and move ballot access closer to the goal line.
That's why I want to face off with Maria and Mary, not Gerry and Mary.
