Mr. Leggett needs to explain why he switched parties! He was clearly 18 months or so ago a Democrat. He was chairman of the Democrat party when Obama was their nominee. He was Chairman when Obama was elected. He wasn’t just independent or even a democrat who wasn’t active in getting democrats elected. HE was Chairman of the democrats. Then all of a sudden he gets appointed by a group of lawyers to replace the Republican Judge Broyles who passed away. He decides to resign from the Chairmanship of the Democrat party. Then about 12 months or so ago he starts attending the Republican party meetings. Then qualifies for election as a Republican. What occurred between the time he was appointed by the group of lawyers to and qualifying time for election that caused Mr. Leggett to decide he was no longer a democrat but he was a republican. It’s not like he just became eligible to vote and wasn’t sure a few months ago. He clearly has been aligned with the democrats for a long time. I can only assume if he will not tell the folks of Gordon county when this epiphany occurred to cause him to switch.

In my humble opinion it is very clear. Mr. Leggit is a democrat. He realizes he could not get elected if he qualified as a democrat. So instead of standing up for what he believes in (the Democrat party) he has no conviction and is willing to do or say anything to get elected. I have a lot more respect for a person who stands up for their convictions. It’s just hard for me to imagine someone goes from Chairman of the democrats to I don’t support democrats in such a short time. I guess if he had not needed to do so in order to get elected I might have believed it could happen. With no explanation I can only draw my own conclusion.

Don’t get fooled again!

Apparently the good people reading the Calhoun Times need to be reminded 1)that it's not a good idea to run as a Democrat and 2)running as a GC Democrat is a job wrecker.

IMHO, it is too dangerous to leave your future in the the hands of twits presently office, too. Vote out all incumbents.

So JDK99 why did Mr. Leeggit switch parties?

Mr Leggett has given his reasons why he switched parties to anyone that has asked him. I'm sure if you call and ask he will be happy to explain. I've asked and got a very good explanation when I asked.

Has anyone heard Mr. Legit’s explanation on why he changed political parties. He was chairman of the Gordon County Democrat party during the Obama election. I assume the Democrat party supported Obama. So what is his explanation; going from supporting Obama to being a Republican?

I still don't know how a Democrat lawyer got appointed Judge in the first place. The guy was Chairman of the Democrat party. Judge Broyles was a Republican. The judges appointed the chairman of the Democrat party. Maybe we should throw out the judges. Then again I guess we should expect them to appoint one of their own kind (lawyer). The next thing I don’t understand is when did the lawyer Mr. Leggett decide he was a Republican? My guess is when he realized he and Obama wouldn’t get a majority of the votes in December if he runs true to his liberal ideas he supported just a few months ago.

Say what you will about Jason Fuller, but he took the time to walk down my driveway and speak to me at length, on what was up to then, the hottest day of the year; which was more than I saw from any of the other pretenders to the throne!

Joke is remaining run-off choices. CM race: Turn coat lawyer or a delusional who thinks he's still a judge. Clerk race: New blood or incumbent wastrel.

Joke II less than one in four qualified voters cast a ballot. Heard predictions of less run-off voters.

Fuller what a joke? He should have ran against Judy!!!
