Ahh what a happy life it would be if we only had to concern ourselves with fishing-related issues when electing a Governor. While fishing is a VERY important part of my life, it certainly isn't the MOST important.

Like TC, I prefer to vote on the issues and not the party line. Welcome to American politics folks. I personally can't EVER remember a time when one candidate represented ALL of my views. Unfortunately, it always seems to be a "lesser of two evils" type scenario.

All that being said... I personally think maybe it is time to see what a Republican could do in the Governor's mansion. After 20 years of Booth "Wally Cox" Gardner, Mike Lousy, and Gary Gridlocke, I think maybe I'll give the other side a shot to screw things up this time...
