The "third party guy" is Jon Powers and Kryzan beat him and Jack Davis in the Democratic primary by running a positive-message campaign while Davis and Powers threw mud at each other. Powers no longer lives in the district and endorsed Kryzan.

Pumpkin, didn't realize you were such an avid blogger! I'll have to add you to my site's blogroll...

I agree with the premise of your analysis. People get way too into the singular aspect of "OMG I VOTED!" as opposed to appreciating the significance of choice... so much of what this country stands for is reflected in that one small act.

Unfortunately, appreciating choice has devolved into apathy, which further devolved into settling for ignorance across such an incredible playing field in this country. Do we deserve the option if we don't take it seriously? Obviously I don't believe that, and I am hoping the record turnout this year will speak for itself.

The greater concern here I think, is the current attitude toward being as informed as possible. Yes, it's our right not to be informed at all - but I'd also hazard that right is made less by choosing to keep yourself in the dark when the stakes involve those very rights.

Just my .02 :) Looking forward to more of this.

Haha - well put. It's funny that you, living in the Rochester media area, are sick of those Kryzan vs Lee ads. If you think you're sick of them, and they're running in your district, imagine how sick of them WE are in TRINIDAD.
