Who do you want to win? Who do you think will win?

Yes, I realize we still have to get through primaries...

Is the primary today?

 

[tcpoke]

No. Just got a call from one of the candidates looking for support/money and just got the wheels turning.

All I can tell you is we are republicans, my wife is a teacher, and she can't stand Baressi or however you spell it. I think a lot of that is the info the union feeds them but she will be voting for another gop candidate guaranteed.

You and I are in exactly the same situation. I'll vote for any other Republican over Baressi in the primaries. And I might vote for a Democrat if Baressi wins the Repub primary.

My wife isn't a teacher, but I share the thought that Baressi is a blithering idiot. I don't know which of the other republican candidates I'll vote for in the primaries though. And if she wins the primary I have zero issues with voting for the democratic candidate.

I doubt she wins tcpoke. Very polarizing figure. If she did I will just sit it out as we don't vote for democrats under any circumstance. I think there are two others in the primary. Bride asked me over the weekend to check it out. Thanks for reminding me.

My wife is an OEA delegate and at the convention a few weeks ago Berrisi declined to show up and speak. She was ridiculed numerous times by large groups of teachers.

Why does everyone hate her so much?

So.... she doesn't put up with guff from teacher's unions? I thought republicans hated unions.

My wife is a republican, and is the same way.

Our votes will be for Hofmeister.

My sister is a counselor at a big high school in Tulsa, she says vote for the "other one". Know a guy who is married to the "other one's" sister. He tells us to vote for the "other one"......his wife is great, but she did marry this guy so..........who knows? I'm going to go ahead a vote for the "other one".

 

[tcpoke]

Well, the one surprising thing was how terrible Baressi did. Loved it!

Looks like barres spent about $50 per vote she got. Funny how she preached accountability and then blamed others for her defeat.

 

[OSUIvan]

What's funny is the guy that got 2nd was seen as a puppet to try to split votes against Baressi (or what ever), he never showed up to any debates or really did much campaigning, and he beat her as well haha.
