I voted yesterday, and was dismayed to see that in all of the uncontested races, the candidates were uniformly republican. It's like democrats don't even attempt to take those offices any more, they know the republicans will fight dirty to win. Why risk your good name? In one of the contested County races down here, the republican has tried to dredge up 20 and 30 year old business records to make them an issue against the democrat, who has served steadily and consistently well in the various municipal or county jobs he's held since his early attempts at being a private businessman. Like small startup businesses aren't ever supposed to have financial difficulties or go belly up. He moved on, got a job, and that is that. Until now. . .
