As we speak the Holbrook campaign has just received a big batch of new signs that Holbrook is installing, not in new locations, but is stapling the new signs right over the top of existing campaign signs.<\/p>\n<p>About the only difference in the signs is the old signs have the phrase \u201cTogether we Can.\u201d  The new signs state that Holbrook is the \u201conly candidate\u201d that has \u201cbeen elected by the people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I think it is totally obvious what Holbrook is trying to do with his new message. Divide and Conquer.<\/p>\n<p>During the 2018 Democrat primary election Eddie Holbrook played his Plantation Politics Race Card with his Uncle Toms to capture one of the two black votes available to each voter.   Together we Can, Together we Can was Holbrook\u2019s rallying cry.  All the time asking white Democrat voters and Unaffiliated voters to single shot for Holbrook.  It worked&#8211;barely.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Holbrook\u2019s political advisors have apparently decided the \u201cBlue Wave\u201d is going to be a \u201cRed Wave\u201d (as was discussed in Friday\u2019s Political Smackdown) and Holbrook wants white Democrat single shot votes, plus now Holbrook is throwing incumbent Republican candidates Ronnie Whetstine and Doug Bridges under the bus as Holbrook looks to garner Republican and Unaffiliated Single shot votes too.  Breaking all indications of working as a team with any of the other candidates, Republican and the black democrats too.<\/p>\n<p>Casual observers may be surprised at Eddie Holbrook\u2019s throwing everybody else under the bus.  But, I am not a casual observer to what is going on in Cleveland County Politics.  As you read my previous article \u201cEddie Holbrook-By the Numbers\u201d you too should realize that Eddie Holbrook is out for Eddie Holbrook.  He tells one story one day and a different story on a different day.  All the time.  It is easy to spot when you go to most of the County Commissioner meetings and watch Eddie Holbrook in action as I have.<\/p>\n<p>You can also tell by Eddie Holbrook\u2019s campaign spending that Holbrook is financed by lots of big money from inside Cleveland County as well as outside of Cleveland. Some with big connections with Catawba Indian Casino big money type connections as previously exposed.  My read on the Commissioner\u2019s race candidate spending for the 2018 election cycle is Holbrook will spend as much as every other candidate spent-COMBINED.  With such spending going on, it has to be very likely that the big donors will all be in line for political payoffs sometime down the line.  Probably sooner than later.<\/p>\n<p>Folks, don\u2019t believe me.  Be on the lookout for the new Eddie Holbrook signs and decide for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Also, remember that tomorrow is the big \u201cSouls to the Polls\u201d buses hauling voters from Black Churches directly to the Early Voting locations.  I expect Eddie Holbrook and other commissioners will be there too.  As well as the other candidates looking for votes.  It is likely to be a big contest of campaign signs as well.  This election seems to be turning out to be one for the record books.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Re-elect Eddie Holbrook campaign is spending money like nobody\u2019s business.
