Congratulations to Robin she campainged hard and it payed off for her. I think she will do an excellent job for the district. She has the cojones to do the job, Cudos to her and her staff!

One can only imagine how things can change in our government if all incumbents face an opponent. How long will Paul Trible continue to keep Hamilton's lush of a wife on the payroll now that Phil won't be bringing in $50+million/year to CNU? At least the people of the 93rd district are still able to recognize right from wrong and unwilling to tolerate those who can't. So long Phil and good riddance Kim.

The story doesn't quote Hamilton and doesn't say he declined to speak. So I can only assume the reporter didn't even call him, which is terrible because oftentimes the most interesting part of an election story is the comment from the loser!!

At least when a Republican is caught being a snake, the conservative movement will vote his crooked butt out of office. Now if he was a democrap, he'd still be in office.
