Atty Situation : Wednesday, November 05, 2008 8:21 PM

Sadness overwhelmed me that there was noone to run against Heather Jones. I understand there were several votes for a write in candidate, and I was unaware write ins weren't posted. I suppose that would be difficult to do. It is my hope that the next time Jones name appears on the ballot, she will have to fight for her position.

Do I sense a bit of sarcasm or am I reading into the comment? I hope it is a miscommunication as that tends to happen when emotion is taken out of conversation during blogging and replying to others comments.
