What’s $55,000.00 gonna pay for two days before the primary? Just asking.

…Now we could do it with conventional weapons, but that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part…

The television ads are everywhere in the republican primary for the 31st Senate District. They’re on our television and we don’t even live in the district. Nothing exceeds like excess. The 8 Day Before Primary Election reports:

State Senator – District 7

Senator Jane Cunningham (r) is very, very unhappy. She filed in the 7th District. Does that mean she thinks the latest iteration of redistricting will get tossed and she’ll gain the top ballot position when (if) her district on the other side of the state reverts to its original number?

Democratic party candidate Zac Maggi is challenging incumbent republican Representative Scott Largent, one of the republican party’s Johnson County triplets, in the 120th Legislative District. The republican triplets – Largent, Denny Hoskins, and Mike McGhee – are so named because their districts encompass parts of the county and because they vote in reliable lockstep with the republican leadership in the General Assembly.
