23 percent turnout?

man, that's disgraceful

and we complain about the clowns who represent us in government...

well, when we all have to become fluent in Spanish and/or the next terrorist attack occurs because the borders were left WIDE OPEN; we'll have no one to blame but ourselves!

Seems to me that 25% is a respectable performance for a first-time candidate from an unknown political party.

This sort of reminds me of how GHWB talked about whipping up on Pat Buchanan (of all people) when he beat him by like 17 points in the NH primary in 1992. Of course he whipped Buchanan....but....the real story is that Buchanan should have gotten like 0 votes against a sitting President.

It wouldn't surprise me if Gilchrist was able to get a seat in the Assembly out of this successful but losing run.

Yes......hardly a decisive win for JC. RINO's need to wake up because they are going down in 2006 unless they start paying attention to what we want, and what we don't want.
