I probably stole it from someone myself!.<BR/><BR/>Mike<BR/>I don't think the "throw the bumbs out" attitude will transcend to a second election cycle, history shows that once the electorate has made a significant change, they chill out... Although Karen appears to be an excellent candidate, the 2nd is overwhelmingly Republican.... I think she will face the same challenge Tom Hayhurst faced. How do you beat a Republican in a district that is overwhelmingly Republican? Generally with a stick.. from a distance.. but not in a general election.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11887973.post-1167352548068018602006-12-28T19:35:00.001-05:002006-12-28T19:35:00.001-05:00I think this will be a closer race then you do Jon...I think this will be a closer race then you do Jon!<BR/><BR/>I do not disagree with any of your points; however, I think there is a fairly strong sentiment amongst voters to "throw the bums out."<BR/><BR/>I think serving on The City Council for 36 years can be a negative as well as a positive...<BR/><BR/>I also think Karen is a strong candidate.<BR/><BR/>I think Don will be hard to beat; but, not impossible!LP Mike Sylvesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06918776704117318033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11887973.post-1167352506822732862006-12-28T19:35:00.000-05:002006-12-28T19:35:00.000-05:00Jon, is it ok with you if I borrow that line "bayo...Jon, is it ok with you if I borrow that line "bayoneting babies on Main Street"?????<BR/><BR/>That is priceless....LMAOTim Zankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14619436377992741061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11887973.post-1167328255606878432006-12-28T12:50:00.000-05:002006-12-28T12:50:00.000-05:00Mike, I don't think many republicans are that c...Mike, <BR/> I don't think many republicans are that conservative anymore; however, Don is entrenched and well liked. Unless he starts bayoneting babies on Main Street I think he is almost unbeatable. Don has an endless supply of cash and the ability to dry up his opponent’s cash. Unfortunately the electorate is not, or does not really pay attention to issues which makes this a name recognition race.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11887973.post-1167266428111509232006-12-27T19:40:00.000-05:002006-12-27T19:40:00.000-05:00John:Don will definately be tough to beat.
