[Senator Clay Davis]

I think Slava's point is the most important here: Outside politicos and Wildrose supporters, almost nobody even cares about this in the slightest. No one I know cares about this. Most of the posters in this thread fall into one of the two categories...its nice for us to have something to talk/rant/debate about, but the average Joe/Jane couldn't give a #### about this.

Should they care? Maybe, but then how is this different than any other portion of the political process most people don't care about? I'm more worried about the embarassing turnout in the byelection than this. But regardless of who gets in power, trying to bring them down with negativity and scandal will always be easier and more effective than trying to contrast ideas. Thats the sad reality of the political process. If the Wildrose ever gets to power, they can expect this same type of thing, just the people here in a rage likely will turn the other cheek. And the cycle continues.
