Back on Track
Its time to revisit my election predictions and, since I took the rap for missing the Greg Ballard win last November, point out how well I did this time.
-President: I first said it leans Clinton, and then hedged by saying it was too close to call. It was close but I learned in grade school to go with your first inclination and for some reason forgot. Either way, I wasn’t wrong.
-Governor: I picked Jill Long Thompson and its Jill Long Thompson. Don’t trouble me with margins.
-7th District (D): I said André Carson and he ran away with it.
-5th District (R): That Dan Burton pick was a good one even if John McGoff exceeded expectations (mine anyway.)
-Incumbent Lawmaker (D&R): I said nobody falls due to the property tax furor. No one did.

I volunteered for Jim Schellinger and hated to see him concede. Did he fall victim to the same consultants who told Bart Peterson that he was o.k.? I tip my hat to Jill Long Thompson. She has my vote.
