I think Kingston despite his drawbacks would have been the better candidate. The really conservative candidates never made it to a runoff, as they split up each other’s voter base.
Over the past three years I got to know Jack Kingston and his staff about as well as any citizen could expect to know their CongressCritter.
Jack is a good man and was quite unfairly maligned on FR.
