11603

Well, not only did I lose, but I managed to earn just a hair more than one percent more than Andy got when he ran for the same office in 2002.  This tells me two things.

First, there are about 12-15% of the population that are immune to the disease of this place, and have pretty much always been so.

And second, the other 85% will eagerly wait in line to be trampled by politics.

Well, on to the next windmill, Sancho!
