As we always say, the media don’t lean Democratic or Republican; they are attracted to the exciting story.
We heard what a great campaign felon Joe Ganim was running… that Eva Bermudez Zimmerman was capturing the imagination of the electorate… that former Teacher of the Year Jahana Hayes was catching fire. Once the results were in last night, Hayes indeed emerged as the Democratic nominee for Congress in the 5th District, but Ganim and Bermudez Zimmerman both lost decisively.
Of note: there remains a wild card in the race for governor and that is the status of former Republican-turned-independent Oz Griebel. He is awaiting final word from the Secretary of the State’s office on whether he has gathered enough valid signatures to successfully petition his way onto the ballot. We should know no later than September 5 whether this will be a three-way race for governor featuring three former businessmen or a more conventional two-way race between the nominees of the major parties.
