AND THE WINNER IS...

Everyone will be out to get the morning paper.

Those who couldn't stay awake until midnight

to get the results.  Other wise they burnt the

midnight oil, cruising the election sites for

each county.

Our own little town.. well, we knew who

was the winner before the day started. Nope,

we aren't a mail in city.  But we are a low keyed

city.  We had the mayor race, and two council

people..   All unopposed.   So when I went to

the council meeting last night.. I congratulate

all 3 of winning their races by a landside. 

Now the big question will be.. how many of

our town's people actually went out and voted?

The average is 31.  But this was a quiet year.

and a lot of people were not really aware there

was an election going on.

Now Spokane, and Sandpoint, and CdA have had some

heated up politics going on. Especially in

Sandpoint.. the mayor race... which has come

by some really nasty mud slinging garbage,

of robo calls.  Not by the candidates themselves.

But because of one of them had unrequested

helpers who decided to help out.  While both of 

them has said they had nothing to do with this. 

So that leads to who and why.  And they followed

up with a last minute slanderness remarks.   So did

one of them do it to the other guy? Or did that guys

bunch do it so the other one got blamed for it?  Who

knows.. but by this am.. there will be a winner.

And from what I understand.. Sandpoint will

be a winner, no matter which one gets in.. as

they both are nice men and have Sandpoint's

best interest at heart.

So early this am.. there will be winners and there will

be losers..  Sadly the voters will be low.. so the few

will vote in the candidate for the major part of the town.

But don't feel bad.. we will have a whole flaming year

of hearing from the Republicans and Democrats on the

Presidential race.  WHOLE YEAR... (enter sad face)
