the (slightly icy) weather at the end of the workday, and that there was no real contest (Clark's Republican opponent didn't even live in the district) the turnout was pretty pathetic. My cynical side guesses people stood longer at Starbuck's waiting for their morning latte than it would have taken to vote...

Well, as we said with the recent Patriot's wins, a win is a win, no matter how messy.
