					<description>Same with Gill.
He lost.
Again.
And again.
And again.

We have to stop when the election ends. There is no need to keep kicking losing candidates after they suffer campaign loses.

Have a heart.</description>

					<description>Good Lord people, think a moment, will ya?
Plummer thought he would be the Lt. Governor now, not a two time loser.

Brady was expected to win, remember?

So, Plummer had his sights set on getting elected to something and just when everyone thought he would, he loses.

Two years later, it happens again. Thought he won it, then loses again.

It is too easy to sit back and nag about Plummer, but it wasn't your time, money or effort that has been spent over the past two years, for naught.

It is OK for him to not handle what he has gone through over the past two years with a fake smile on his face. He's dopey, a little stunned, but was as sincere as anyone else running for office.

I hope he doesn't run for anything again, and I hope he is happy with whatever he ends up doing. 

But enough already.</description>

					<description>"His winning opponent was Tea Party, but Gill never labeled him as such."

Just like Bob Dold was Tea Party.

Props to Lester Holt's Mustache for telling it like it is.  Perhaps Lester Holt's Mustache should've been the nominee.</description>

					<description>I know David Gill, and like and respect him and voted for him in both the primary and the general election.  He is making a mistake in how he is handling this situation, but I also think it is a mistake to kick people when they are down.  David should call Rodney to congratulate him on his campaign and his apparent win, but leave the door open for the statistically unlikely event that the provisional ballots will close the gap.  Everybody else should let up a bit.</description>

					<description>Jason Plummer, son of a lumber tycoon, with no obvious qualifications for anything.  I can't help thinking of the conversation early in Caddyshack between Danny Noonan and Ty Webb.

Danny: "I haven't even told my father about the scholarship I didn't get. I'm gonna end up working in a lumberyard the rest of my life."

Ty: "What's wrong with lumber? I own two lumberyards?"

Danny: "I notice you don't spend too much time there."

Ty: "I'm not sure where they are."</description>

					<description>I actually went around knocking on doors for Gill Tuesday, so as a supporter I would like to say - 

Dr. Gill:  You look like an ass at this point.  Stop being an idiot and concede the race already.  I know the red-head and the young guy with the beard from DCCC keeps telling you there is a chance, but they are wrong.  You need to stop listening to them and give it up already.

K,thanks,bye</description>
