Voices in Lorena: ‘Whiskey for my friends, water for my horses!’
There weren’t many voters out when Trib writer Tim Woods got to Lorena High School just before lunch. But by 11:30, the precinct had recorded 266 voters, about 2-1 voting Republican.
When he heard that the GOP voters were turning out in such proportions, George Morgan was ecstatic. “Whiskey for my friends, water for my horses!”
Morgan was at the polling place trying to drum up support for Kelly Snell, who’s running for Pct. 1 county commissioner.
Voter Bob McKenzie was there to cast his ballot for John McCain. The economy was on his mind, but so was the war.
What would he tell his candidate if he could talk to him face to face? “I’d tell him to go win that war in Iraq, if we can. And we can. The trouble with our country is that we don’t go into wars to win, we go into wars to fight.”
