While it's understandable that passions might be high about choosing a candidate for replacement, Phil Davison's appeal to the county GOP to nominate him for the treasurer's spot might just be a little over the top, particularly when he promises to come out with "both guns blazing".

Fortunately, party leaders chose someone else. Also, Mr. Davison just might have wasted his time on that masters in communication. Just sayin'.
