Not Judy Baker! She sure loves her some NASCAR:
It’s official: Carl Edwards is Columbia’s native son.
A billboard unveiled this week along eastbound Interstate 70 near Range Line Street brags that Columbia is the home of the 2007 NASCAR Busch Series winner.
About a hundred friends and family yesterday surprised the 28-year-old NASCAR star with a reception, showed off the billboard and also announced plans to rename a stretch of Route WW after Columbia’s biggest celebrity. […]
State Sen. Chuck Graham and state Rep. Judy Baker announced the plans to designate Route WW from Highway 63 to Olivet Road as “Carl Edwards Drive.” (emphasis added)
Which makes this deranged explosion from her opponent’s campaign in response to new poll results showing her leading Republican Blaine Luetkemeyer (which we noted below) look even more psychotic:
“Judy Baker’s poll is like a NASCAR driver bragging about being ahead after the first lap of this weekend’s Sharpie 500, which in case Judy didn’t know is a car race enjoyed by ‘those people’ often derided by liberal Democrats like herself,” said Luetkemeyer spokesman Paul Sloca in a statement.
Nice try. Keep on truckin’, little buddy.
Nicely done Baker, nicely done.
Luetkemeyer bloodied up by CfG and not self funding any more plus the DCCC’s million in ads and I think we’ve got a fantastic chance of picking up this seat.
I rate this as Lean Republican.
I’ve lived in Daytona Beach my whole life and hate NASCAR. Or course, that doesn’t mean I have a problem with people who do like it.
or the Olympics, but i loves me my NFL and Major League baseball! But I’m glad Judy Baker properly loves and respects Carl Edwards (who i assume is a NASCAR driver).
In light of Sloca’s statement:
Judy Baker’s poll is like a NASCAR driver bragging about being ahead after the first lap of this weekend’s Sharpie 500, which in case Judy didn’t know is a car race enjoyed by ‘those people’ often derided by liberal Democrats like herself,” said Luetkemeyer spokesman Paul Sloca in a statement.
And Swing State Project’s well-timed smackdown:
State Sen. Chuck Graham and state Rep. Judy Baker announced the plans to designate Route WW from Highway 63 to Olivet Road as “Carl Edwards Drive.” (emphasis added)
I thought it would be worth pointing out the ultimate irony, that Carl Edwards won the Sharpie 500! 🙂
