SamSpade voted for Dubya in no fewer than three endorsements (Constitutional Union, Right to Life, and NRA). Yet he voted statesrights in the election (which caused the tie.) To me this is the vote to watch. With his nullification efforts, statesrights told our senators their efforts, their bills really didn't have much authority with him. Why Spade wants him as governor is beyond me. Dibble too. Why he'd put the rights of the state above the rights of the individual is beyond me. Although I'm betting the whole "nullification" of the two gub. votes last weekend will have a slight backlash in favor of states. The whole thing, including Dubya's statement he'd resign if elected, put a bad taste in my mouth.
I only considered resigning if I won the first election in order to clear up the controversy over nclib's and josh22's votes by holding another one. Since the votes were tied, that became unnecessary.
