Scratch that: Williams is edging past Faulk… but not by much.
The Yager/Ruppe race looks close as well. Tim Barnes is stomping Kurita so far – and over in District 26, Camp isn’t doing so great. Maybe folks there liked the cow.
UPDATE here.
Hank Hayes has a Q&A with our contenders for the 4th District State Senate seat. The Q parts are good, the A – eh, mostly nonspecific campaign prattle which candidates often use for the purpose of appealing to voters. Therefore, I thought it might be helpful if I translated the answers for you.
The wee hours of November 5th cannot get here soon enough. I’m not terribly excited by the prospect of an Obama win because he’s a little scary in terms of shutting down detractors – but you know what? There’s more citizens than there are Presidents. Bloggers alone can outnumber him. So, [...]
