Why isn't that democrat Steve Young the favorite in this district.
The district gave Kerry 41 percent. Bush got 59 percent.
If Gilchrist and Campbell were to split 59 percent of the vote Young would win. If they each get 30 percent that would leave Young with 40 percent.
The primary were misleading too because the dems didn't put any money into them and it occured during a jewish holiday which is part of young's base.
I am all for Gilchrest running I just wished he would run as a republican and try to win a primary. Because if he were truly to split the vote with Campbell that conservative district would have a socialist dem representing them.
This run off system sucks. I can't stand the same system they use in Louisiana. I remember last year tauzin and the romero got way over 50 percent during election day but the vote was split between the two gop candidates. Then when tauzin ran a few weeks later without the pres race at the top of the ticket he lost to a radical leftist in melancon who is Blanco's water boy.
Your answer is in my post #13 to Torie.
