[QUOTE="SMS, post: 1920308, member: 42"] Sorrels has caught my attention and I'm inclined to vote for him...but the above section of your post requires some more explanation. How exactly would he be capable of "standing against the feds"? What actions would he take in that arena upon assuming the office, and what theoretical, yet realistic, scenarios do you have in mind for the future? IMHO, there's a lot of myth and urban legend when it comes to the "Sheriff is the highest elected LEO" in the nation stuff....in the end, Sheriffs are still politicians and are still bound to follow [I]the law[/I], be it city, county, state, or federal law. They can't and shouldn't be in the business of selective enforcement. I'd be happy with a guy who can run a clean department, field an effective force, put the community's needs before his own, and do it all without getting a big head or devolving into empire building. Can he do that? [/QUOTE]
