Here's something to chew on....
Here's a little something to chew on this Sunday morning - From this list of oft mentioned candidates, which Republican do you like in the 2008 Congressional contest?
A note from Benedict Ar... Sorry. A note from Stan Adelstein why he thinks you should vote Democrat this year.
(Click on letter to enlarge) And while it may not be printed at taxpayer expense, I don't see a disclaimer, either. When they hold the special session (supposedly at the end of November) , since he's left them already, I think his colleagues should expel him from the caucus. Sure. At that point it's only going to be symbolic. But since he's already said he's running again in the near future, sometimes symbolism is enough.

There are plenty of good folks from west river, but they always seem to slip your mind.
Peters would wrap up at least one district out west. Although, she'd lose her own as a result. She'll be lucky to retain her legislative seat next year with her shenanigans. Come on...
Never Larry Russell, i would not support him for anything.
Dusty is by far the best candidate and is known.
Deb has issues
Joel, hummmmm. just not sure.
Russell is as fake as Herseth.
There are some names that PP seems to always leave off.
1. Rhoden
2. Bogue
3. Napoli
4. Hanks
5. Haverly
Why does PP only think that east river folks are electable?
As a democrat, I pray every night that you nominate one of those.
Might as well just hand the victory to the Dems.
Obviously you've never talked politics with the lady...she's incredibly intelligent and motivated.
Oh by the way Deb Peters just smoked everyone in her district!!
Which Bogue? Eric or Cheryl?
Richard A. Engels - D 3568 25.07%
Elaine A. Roberts-D 3503 24.62%
Katy Dressen - R 3460 24.31%
Smoked? Not exactly, 8:14. 1.68% separated top from bottom in the four-way race.
Maybe people should be talking about Katy Dressen running for office. In a race that pitted her against two incumbents and a former legislator, she barely got nipped. She is an articulate lady, and obviously is willing to work hard.
Hadn't thought of it before I looked at the numbers, but she might be better than a lot of the people mentioned.
Peters certainly did smoke everybody (.99%+ cushion). In fact, she should just skip all the foreplay talk about the house race and run for the gov's seat in 2010.
Peters/Haverly or Haverly/Peters doesn't matter whos on top of the ticket.
What do you think Deb?
The $$ listed on the campaign report wouldn't cover a year of the billboard. Most likely, the campaign was only billed for 2-3 months, and the other 9 months or so she's paying for out of pocket and claiming a tax deduction. Pretty expensive race to lose.
Folks, you just can't believe everything you read. :)
Thanks to all who made the kind remarks. I'm speechless.
I thoroughly enjoyed my campaign and meeting so many wonderful people. Even though I lost the election, I still felt like a winner, and who knows... I just might try it again.
