Not that I wanted Henry elected, but Largent simply was unacceptable. Sadly, he was coronated in the primary, he had no viable opponent. I can’t recall the reason why Richardson ran as an Independent. He’ll be 78 in 2019 at the start of his term, so I’m thinking that’s going to be a big mark against him (and being accused of helping Henry in 2002).
Too bad he didn’t just run in the GOP primary.
