I hate to say it, but Burns is going to lose the special election. This is why it is imperative that Republicans in the 12th vote for Bill Russell over Tim Burns in the primary. We don’t want a loser running again in the fall, we want a strong conservative and a fresh campaign against Critz in November. If Burns would happen to win the primary, it would still be a victory if Russell wins the primary because you would have a Republican succeeding a Republican.
Plus, Bill Russell is just an all-around better candidate.
