It looks like the conservative lost out in the state senate race, too
(in really, really *low* turnout--of which 70% was absentee)

I was nervous about the 50th due to all of the blather on the national news...so glad Busby didn't get the 50%...that would have been really scary. I knew we were in trouble when about 15 "in the know" people called me for advice as to who to vote for for the State Senate seat. The blanket bad blood from both sides just turned everybody off to the point where they couldn't even take in who to choose. We have got to quite that within the party or we will lose. Thanks for the numbers...530 vote difference...wow...that's close. Any thoughts as to how Bilbray will do in June?
