Well there were 9 candidates last time, to be honest it was 1.5 years ago and while I did research them and read as much as I could about them then, I do not recall all their platforms or why I thought there was a better choice than Dave. But given the giant nothing he did in his first term I'm not surprised out of 8 people I found 1 that I thought might do a better job. I definitely remember it not being a "no brainier" for Dave.

Hey Rhettzky - I heard 200 people on the news this morning, the OP's post say "as many as 200" - I missed the "as many as" part - where do your numbers come from... its hard to imagine why a elected group would press release more than they had to... especially if the real number boils down to 10% of whats reported...
