The day after
So, Campfield won. He beat the establishment challenger, which is good. It will also guarantee two more years of bloggy entertainment.
Mostly incumbents won. This should shock no one because that’s what our system is set up to do.
I told you so! Bob Corker will be the next senator from Tennessee. I’ll still bet a beer on it. Corker had to change his image from moderate Republican to conservative Republican to do so. I voted for Bryant. I wonder what these guys are gonna do now.
In my home county, voters overwhelmingly rejected the wheel tax. Good.
The guy I voted for for mayor did not win.
Blogger Bob Krumm won his primary as well.
Update: MKS notes:
So much for term limits
Eight of nine incumbent Knox County commissioners win, including four of the five who filed a legal challenge over the county charter and its term-limits provision.
The voters talk a good game but they don’t mean it. That or the system makes it real easy for incumbents.

Yah.

So in the end, the people of Knox County that took the time to vote showed what sheeple they really are.
I was in the minority. My vote enforced term limits. My neighbors choose to vote the machine ticket. Damn sheep.

Heh. I voted for him because I met him one day. He was on the road putting out his own signs -which I find respectable. Just seemed like a nice guy. The GOB network in BC seems to be stifling growth for reasons I’ll not get into.
