2. He's interesting. More to the middle than I wanted, but on the plus side he did once work with

Senator Muskie. The real problem here is that he and the Dem (who I would have preferred, at least based on her issues stances) have split the vote more than the other 3 conservative candidates.

What a mess. Plurality voting just isn't good for races featuring more than 2 contestants.

3. Small towns are slow to report...

...hand-counted and phoned in, many of them. I remember not signing the final reports and sealing envelopes and such till well after midnight in mine when I was an election clerk.

4. Yeah. I know that staying up will accomplish nothing, but I can't tear myself away from that

darned refresh button anyway!
