What made this story a bit more is adding up the totals in each municipality and putting it together to see where Sam was stroing and weak. The newspapers do not do this sort of analysis locally.

I like the guy. My vote was two fold. One to send a message to Mr. Brown...... your not gonna get my vote to put out the trash next election as a fellow REPUBLICAN and I would not vote for anyone associated with you or your administration NO MATTER who it is and Sam Murray is definitely the right candidate and I am, glad he won. In reading some of the goings on at the Courthouse this Scomillio guy was Solicitor and was involved the county in?

My wife took her into the booth and as she was eating a cookie that one of the nice poll workers had given her, she hit the 'VOTE' button after my wife made just one selection (for PA supreme court). Thankfully, it did not come down to just 1 vote.TJDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16884141487501715161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-61651684121497477052015-11-09T12:46:49.052-05:002015-11-09T12:46:49.052-05:00Interesting analysis.

Not many voters could idetify Wojick or Lalley in a lineup. It went 51.3/48.7 Sam over performed by about 1%, Barron under performed by about 1%. Sam was a better candidate who ran a better campaign.

In a close race, that is a nice edge to have. I personally have seen both the annoying typess as well as people who really have an impact. Charlie Roberts, for example, could probably turn a precinct around. He did that in BT during the open space referendum. <br /><br />I think local people who know the voters and can talk to them about their kids and their other interests are very beneficial.Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-64416450357389897102015-11-09T09:04:56.770-05:002015-11-09T09:04:56.770-05:00What's that saying: "may the best man win...What's that saying: "may the best man win"? <br /><br />He did!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-4225295166858746992015-11-09T08:58:49.387-05:002015-11-09T08:58:49.387-05:00Cute how these people believe the annoying people ...Cute how these people believe the annoying people standing as a gauntlet at the polls influence votes.
