Voters preferred Ulman, warts and all, to the alternative major party candidate (if we're to leave out Wallis who was not sactioned by the press and who didn't solicit big money contributions).<br /><br />Come on! Time to stomp those sour grapes into a ghastly Chardonnay. Unless you want history to repeat its self.<br /><br />Let's talk about the future of a party which prioritizes loyalty over honesty, loyalty over work ethic, loyalty at all cost. If there was significant 'not voting the person' in the mid-terms, then maybe it was a vote against a culture of oppression, dishonesty, secrecy for personal gain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16483028.post-10175232600299436952006-12-03T23:45:00.000-05:002006-12-03T23:45:00.000-05:00You said:

Interestingly, my first qualm was that since the Pew survey spoke to Congressional (i.e. Federal level) elections, I wasn’t sure how well the results of the survey could be applied to local elections. However, I realized that is exactly what the folks who say Ulman won on Iraq are postulating. So if the Pew survey does not apply to local politics because it is based on Federal elections and Federal issues, the “Ulman won on Iraq” theory must be invalid anyway.<br /><br />I have made comments that Ulman won because of Bush, but now I am not convinced of that. I am surprised, however, that there is such a disparity in the first two scenarios. It seems hard for me to believe there are people out there that support Bush, but do not support the Iraq war.FreeMarkethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12640525471233108791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16483028.post-2731795123294223122006-11-29T20:54:00.000-05:002006-11-29T20:54:00.000-05:00Well actually one local blogger said the growth is...Well actually one local blogger said the growth issues effect on the race was overblown, and predicted Ken Ulman's victory.Steve Finehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09648535536430111093noreply@blogger.com
