I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree about how Marty Williams would have done.

From what I hear up north, though, it’s all but certain that Jay O’Brien would have squeaked through without HB3202 around his neck.

We can speculate all day long, but when at the end of the day Williams had the name recognition and voting history to pull it off. The GOP should have waited to oust him.

I agree that he is a RHINO, but the bigger picture of redistricting scares me.

But you’ve missed my point, Anon. Marty Williams wouldn’t have held that seat. I’m convinced he would have lost by a greater margin than Tricia Stall did.

I completely agree that taxes should be cut, and Republicans should stand true on their principles of limited government by cutting waste. My point was that the greater good was not achieved because now we have redistricting in 2010 with a Senate one vote away from GOP majority.

Plus, my original vote didn’t go to Wittman. My personal feeling is that the Speaker of the House should have done more to keep him out of the race, and I also blame the Speaker for the regional plans (HB3202) that were loaded with tax increases; why anyone would impose higher real estate transfer taxes in a declining market is beyond me!
