Tony, you STILL bitter over Lawless? Well, hopefully those results will cheer you up...unless he calls up 30 lawyers and demands a recount in selected precincts.
As far as the gubernatorial election, it's my opinion that the best man won, but I might...might...be biased.
On a serious tip, usually, I find myself picking the "least worst." And granted there was some mud-slinging (which went incredibly quiet about 3 weeks ago), but overall, I found the 3 main candidates to be relatively decent folk...which seems to be a rarity these days.
