Rather little about gun issues. It seemed like immigration was the hot button issue that several of the Lt. Gov candidates used to try and outflank each other (and help spin their campaign as anti-federal and anti-Obama, all of which would score political points).mojo84 wrote:What, if anything, does the Patterson vot tell us about support for gun issues? I thought he would have had better support.
I am guessing that name general recognition was important in the Lt. Gov primary. I don't expect as many primary voters really knew who Staples and Patterson were.
Lastly, the kind of lower key, pragmatic, git-er-done candidates that I prefer (like Patterson) may not necessarily the ones that do best in the campaign/election process.
