To The Victor Go The Spoils...

I am pleased to announce that the Honorable Claude J. Christensen, Mayor Pro-teim, Kentucky Colonel extraordinaire, and general all round good guy won his coveted seat on the Sadieville City Commission last night!!! We created our new tradition, breakfast at Waffle House before going to the polls to vote. Then we headed to our little Sadieville City Hall where we cast our ballots. I used the computerized version and Claude used the paper ballot. Our little town was soooooooo full of people yesterday you couldn't hardly find a parking place. We actually stood in line to have the privilege of voting. The chose yesterday to continue replacing a telephone poll and they were working on our little caboose and the voting and normal traffic. It was truly the countries own version of the DC Beltway traffic. Last night we went to the Scott County Republican party at the Best Western and enjoyed some light refreshments with others concerned about the local seats. Our state senator Damon Thayer was there and receiving the counts by others in other counties as the votes were tallied in our part of Kentucky. It was fun to be in the midst of this little group of concerned citizens. We left this party and headed to the County Court House in downtown Georgetown. They had monitors set up giving the results of the local elections. On the 3rd floor we found a monitor and watched as Claude's name scrolled up with the other candidates for city commission in Sadieville. He was first on the ballot and 1st in number of votes. So we are set for the next 2 years of service to Sadieville. As Claude and I discussed our voting today, I mentioned there was one candidate who ran unopposed for one of the state congressional positions. Claude was not happy with his performance last year so I asked him how he voted for that position. He did what I should have expected, Claude wrote himself in!!! I could only tell him on the way home, "You sure know how to show a girl a great time!!"
