Also, no mention of Jim Ritchie, who scraped by for a run-off by 36 votes. Still think he'll lose in 2 weeks though.

That theme is the resounding sound of anti-incumbency. Now comes the real question: How much political capital do these new folks have to spend and what will they spend it on? I'm thinking . . . little capital . . . little progress. When you hear from various polling precincts and contacts across the state that one of the biggest questions was "who is (err, now WAS) the incumbent,” you have to step back and say is this as grand as we all hope it could be. Time will tell . . . Will,
