Chris Peden put up a valiant fight. For the first time, a poll was actually right about Ron Paul. What a shame for those in District 14, looks like another 4 years of “no” representation. I’ll say it again, it’s easy to say “no” than to offer any real solutions and stand behind them. 70% - 30% in favor of the incumbent. One thing that troubles me, it sure would be sad if a mitigating factor in today’s results came from Republicans crossing over in the primary to attempt influence the Democratic race. There sure were a lot of fish-out-of-water Republicans coming out of my Precinct’s Democratic caucus. Not because they have changed parties, but they wanted to select the opposition for the general election. Bad idea, they screwed the down ballot candidates and made it easy for the party faithfuls to re-elect the incumbents. If at first you don’t succeed, then try, try, again…

Exit question: Now that Ron Paul has plan “B” covered, what of his Presidential campaign?

If he doesn’t resume the Presidential campaign, then my premise he ran for President just to be able to raise more out of district money for his Congressional campaign with out ever intending to actually hit the Trifecta would be true. After all, he did say he was running all the way to the National Convention, so what McCain has clinched already.
