Carl Mumpower, Republican candidate for the 11th
District Congressional nomination, congratulated his colleagues Spence Campbell
and John Armor today for their strong showing in yesterday's Henderson County
straw poll. The results were a
dead-heat, with Campbell receiving 24 votes, Mumpower receiving 23, and John
Armor receiving 20. It was Mr. Armor's strongest showing yet, coming on the
heels of his recent win of straw poll taken among Macon County Republicans late
last month.
"John was perfectly charming yesterday," said Mumpower. "He made
us all laugh more than once with his characterizations of Congress and Heath
Shuler. It was a good morning for all of us, I think, and reinforces my feeling
that this will sure be a lot more fun when we're all playing on the same team."
The poll was taken at the monthly meeting of the Henderson County Republican
Men's Club, after a spirited debate on the issues that avoided the often testy
exchanges that have characterized the primary campaigns so far. It was also the
tenth such debate across the 11th District, an unprecedented and highly-praised
flurry of GOP pre-primary activity designed to give wide access to voters for
the chance of learning more about the three men vying for the chance to defeat
Democrat incumbent Heath Shuler in November.
