“All politics is local.”, right?
If true, then his office must have REALLY alienated the voters, ‘cause most of the pols (of any party) know not to piss off the “Janes and Joes”.
Graham: The opposition was too fractionated.
And weak. The guy in second place would have lost a runoff anyway and I'm not convinced the 3rd place guy (who I would have voted for) could have gotten the job done either. I expected Graham to win, you can't beat something with nothing. Graham is a slick campaigner with a lot of resources.
