Werner Walloped

By: Mr. Wilson on May 4, 2005
Well holy cow, Terry Werner got the boot. So much for my prediction powers. I really thought Terry was bullet-proof. Not because he's a great politician, mind you. He isn't. In fact, as a politician I think he's pretty poor. No, I thought he was bullet-proof because I thought he had a fairly substantial core base of supporters. Either those supporters stayed home yesterday, or Werner's core has disintegrated much more substantially than I thought. Werner himself blames the attack ads that came out against him. It's natural for him to blame the ads, but to blame them too much is to fail to recognize just how quirky Terry Werner really is. The ads may have broken the camel's back, but the camel was already under a pretty hefty load long before the ads came out. Besides, how can one blame the attack ads for Werner's loss while still explaining the fact that Dan Marvin won? Marvin was attacked as well. Granted, the attacks against Marvin had a much flimsier basis, but they were still pretty potent. And what's the deal with Robin Eschliman being elected? I'll repeat what I asked yesterday: Does anybody know what she stands for? Then again, not like anybody knows what Mark Koller or Shaun Traudt stand for, either, so with Werner going down at least one of those three had to win. It may as well have been Eschliman. Congratulations to Ken Svoboda, Robin Eschliman, and Dan Marvin. And so long to crazy ol' Terry Werner. The big question now is: will anything actually change?

Im glad that Koller lost. I concur with your reaction to Werner. A few, very noisy and agressive supporters made him seem untouchable going in to this thing…

By the way Mr. Wilson, I heard a wild rumor recently that you were asking women out for lunch to La Mexicana. Sup with that?

You’re invited too. You just hadn’t received your invitation yet because first I wanted to hear from the woman in question. You see, she might have had bad things to say about you. Fortunately for you, you’re off the hook.
