...ASAT May 2008 Primary Election Endorsements: Huntington and Cabell County

For ...ASAT's endorsements, I have taken into account several factors including but not limited to comments made to the media and at forums, campaign platforms, past performance in and out of public office, friends/allies/cronies/campaign supporters, electability in November, and, most importantly, great hair (just kidding on the last one).

Note that ...ASAT is only making endorsements in contested primary races. An endorsement for the primary election does not neccesarily equate to ...ASAT's support carrying over to the general election in November, as I might be merely selecting the lesser of a number of evils for the primary.
