Kay Hartleb did that job for 20 years and is ahead of a Democratic newcomer by 200 votes last time I checked. <br /><br />I am sorry to see that Osmundson lost. He could have beat Warren Miller had he done more campaigning. I was really pulling for him.FreeMarkethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12640525471233108791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16483028.post-10965316550780265352006-11-08T09:27:00.000-05:002006-11-08T09:27:00.000-05:00Jane- I agree that the CE race was not about a war...Jane- I agree that the CE race was not about a war in Iraq. However, the war in Iraq ticked off a lot of voters, who came out in droves to boot the Republicans.<br /><br />My inkling is that a lot of those people may not have given a crap about the local races, may not have followed them, and just voted party lines.<br /><br />Look how close the other local races were. Even in races where the challenger hadn't campaigned, they had a very good showing. The Bates-Miller-Osmundson contest is a good example. As is the Orphan's Court race.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16483028.post-41964512602754915662006-11-08T09:04:00.000-05:002006-11-08T09:04:00.000-05:00Freemarket:

You must've seen them. <br /><br />In fact, their voting records are not all that different. But Ulman did not choose to misrepresent what voters can determine. Merdon heavily misrepresented his record and was called on it by the voters. If Merdon had been honest, he might have had a shot.<br /><br />What do you think determined the outcome between the three? A republican president? This CE race was not about a war in Iraq.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16483028.post-89964547792996794032006-11-08T08:56:00.000-05:002006-11-08T08:56:00.000-05:00“Culturally, and behaviorally they represent the s...“Culturally, and behaviorally they represent the same things and many voters are catching on.”<br /><br />Jane, what the heck are you talking about?

Culturally, and behaviorally they represent the same things and many voters are catching on. Now I can sleep at night. <br /><br />I propose a schedule. One day of grieving for the conservatives, one week of intense election analysis peppered with light strings about books. Yes, can we talk books, now that the business at hand is settled? There's much more to be said on that topic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16483028.post-71282149870605406262006-11-08T07:31:00.000-05:002006-11-08T07:31:00.000-05:00I can’t believe how solid a victory Ulman had over...I can’t believe how solid a victory Ulman had over Merdon when he only 80% of the votes in the primary against Dunbar, who hardly did any campaigning. I suppose the strategy of linking Republicans to Bush worked.
