WOW, WAS I WRONG!

I don't have a stake in the California recall but like everybody else I couldn't help but be aware of what was going on out there. I thought from the beginning that Grey Davis would pull it out in the end. My reasons were simple: I thought it would be difficult to get people to come out and vote for a negative, the recall. And I thought negative campaigning worked. I was wrong on the first and I hope on the second. Perhaps this California election spells the end of negative campaigning and wouldn't that be nice. Maybe just talking about the positive side will work better. We'll have to see if that is the case nationwide or even in Preble. Can't hurt to give it a try anyway.
