It really depends how close the Governor's race is at the end and If Simon has a real chance to beat Davi$ ... I don't know that Simon will have coattails but ya never know...
I would hope that some voters would finally see what the socialists in the state govt and in the bureaucracy have wrought .. but I wouldn't get my hope up ..

Hope and a quarter (figuratively) will get you downtown, NR, but not much further. Gotta slug it out to cross that finish line.

I know things have to go real bad before people change their voting habits.
I hope with the internet, a more informed electorate would vote in a conservative way.

Doubling the vehicle registration fee can't possibly be popular...seems like some more ammunition to fire at Grayout.
