Yeah, this seat went from *the dems. have done everything they can to steal this seat, including bogus court rulings* to *WTF, she's gonna win this DESPITE the democrat grenade they launched*. My only prayer is that Republican women just say no to the hyphen. What a circle jerk this created, yes because of the ridiculous court rulings, but also because of the never*-*ending last name.

Her name is one nightmare, however, it's been stated IF someone only wrote GIBBS it'd be accepted.

In fact, there's a reason for her name. She already had a reputation in the medical community when she married, and didn't want people to think she had disappeared.

I believe there are a few circumstances where a woman might be wise to keep her own name. If I had a lucrative business that depended on my name, I'm not sure that I wouldn't have hyphenated my name, as well.

What happens if someone writes in GIBBS or SEKULA or misspells SEKULA-GIBBS? How much leeway is there? I'd rather know that before the election rather than after the election. If they can divine voter intent from a partial punch of paper card (hanging chad) then "GIBBS" ought to be enough to divine intent in this case. Hell, "Gobs" ought to be good enough. But it is a different state.

YEP, as hard as the dems tried to steal this election...it didn't happen and will not happen. Lampson is one unhappy camper. ;o)
