Not in the clamor of the crowded street, not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
REDIRECT ALERT! (Scroll down past this mess if you're trying to read an archived post. Thanks. No, really, thanks.) Due to my inability to control my temper and complacently accept continued silliness with not-quite-as-reliable-as-it-ought-to-be Blogger/Blogspot, your beloved Possumblog will now waddle across the Information Dirt Road and park its prehensile tail at http://possumblog.mu.nu. This site will remain in place as a backup in case Munuvia gets hit by a bus or something, but I don't think they have as much trouble with this as some places do. ::cough::blogspot::cough:: So click here and adjust your links. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's one of those things. Wednesday, June 02, 2004
Well, well--even embittered little peckerwoods have coattails.
Parker beats Justice Brown in Supreme Court Place 1 race TOM GORDON
Moore also backed two other high court hopefuls, Criminal Appeals Judge Pam Baschab in the Place 2 nomination race, and retired Covington County Circuit Judge Jerry Stokes in the Place 3 contest. Baschab, however, lost decisively to Shelby County District Judge Patti Smith. Incomplete returns showed Smith with 116,474 votes, or 58 percent, to 85,407, or 42 percent, for Baschab. Smith will face Democrat Roger Monroe, a former state appellate judge, in November.
Larry Sabato, a University of Virginia political scientist, Whu?! Odd to go out of state for a comment about this, given the amount of poli-sci professors in the state...said Tuesday's results showed that Moore has political clout, but not as much as his supporters would like.
Moore's backing did little in the primary contest for the 6th Congressional District. His chief attorney, Phillip Jauregui, lost decisively to incumbent Spencer Bachus. [...] Again, in a survey of likely male voters currently sitting at my desk, this was a non-starter to begin with. Bachus has been effective at doing what Representatives are supposed to do--bringing home lots of filthy Federal lucre to his district. To his credit, he has not fallen into the usual mode of insisting that everything be named after him, as seems to be the general rule, and has been cognizant of the needs of people in his district other than the ones who voted for him--a lot of the money he has funnelled has been to improve mass transit, generally NOT something appealing to suburbanites and rural dwellers. To throw him off for an unknown, whose only claim to fame was being Jedge Roy's mouthpiece, was a bit too much to expect.
