I have not read that anywhere else. I know it was just a primary, but if she made such a strong showing in an election with such low turnout, I think she really does have a fighting chance! Athough she is at a huge disadvantage because Kelsey has raised like 4-times as much money as she has. But I live in Sen. Dist. 31, and what I keep telling people is, that area has undergone massive demographic changes just in the past year or so. It's not the all-white conservative bastion it used to be. If we all turn out pull for Pakis-Gillon, maybe we'll finally get a senator that represents our interests!vvixenhttp://openid.aol.com/vvixennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102867.post-80119568713821510592009-10-16T19:02:34.796-05:002009-10-16T19:02:34.796-05:00Indeed, CMI, I have fond memories of Mongo's pizza place at the corner of Highland and Marion. It was better than Garibaldi's then, and that was really saying something in 1980!Steve Steffenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08104688163653632284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102867.post-89361660718257010872009-10-16T18:58:19.252-05:002009-10-16T18:58:19.252-05:00Too bad Mongo didn't do better. I voted Chicago style for him on the Cracker's blog and had high hopes. Oh well, we can remember his pizza.callmeishmaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11487928923226189314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102867.post-46965808567577375872009-10-16T11:47:33.686-05:002009-10-16T11:47:33.686-05:00Great Commentary and recognition of two wonderful people and public servants,Carol and Myron.
