They had everything they needed, a complacent chair who didn't expect a challenge, much less a serious challenge, no organized re-election campaign a lot of new people who didn't know much about either candidate besides what they heard in their speech. Plus alot of people (like you, aparently) that were disatisfied with the legislature and open to a change.<BR/><BR/>But they screwed up. They nominated somebody that wasn't ready to do the job once he won it. He said it himself, he didn't expect to win. Neither did PDA, they figured they'd just try to make it close and send a message.<BR/><BR/>But the window of opportunity is closed. Don Bivens will win, with support from the majority of the party.<BR/><BR/>Lightning never strikes twice in the same place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
