Hey gang the Primaries are over and now time has come to analyze the
results.
First off I know everyone has been studying and following the
presidential race, as with any election the top office tends to define the
whole process. Here in Ohio in the Republican race John Kasich our current
Governor won the Primary, while Hillary Clinton won on the Democrat side. What does this mean? Well the thing about the
presidency is that it’s really the only position that is elected nationwide.
Since the Presidency is in fact voted on by the nation one must look at the
rest of the nation to know what is really going on. First off in the Democratic
race, Hillary Clinton now holds nearly double the total delegates as opponent
Bernie Sanders, and is likely to take the nomination.
Now John Kasich is a completely different story, He himself has 143
delegates and 66 of those are from his win in Ohio. In my humble opinion John
Kasich's only hope of gaining the nomination is a contested convention, which
means that when the primaries in every state are over there is no clear winner.
That said it would be a great atrocity for the people to give say for example
49% of the vote to Donald Trump, 30% to Ted Cruz and 15% to Kasich, (leaving
the last 16% to other candidates who dropped out early) and then all of a
sudden you give the prize to third place. #GoldDon'tEqualBronze
Okay now that we have discussed the national issues let’s not forget the
local elections. Two races that I have myself followed closest were the Sharif
and Ross County Commissioner races. On the Republican side current Sharif George
Lavender, and Dwight Garret won their respective races for nomination. On the
Democrat side we had Donald T. Hayburn, II who won the nomination for Sharif and
Todd Holdren won the nomination for Commissioner.
I will not be announcing all of my endorsements anytime soon but I cannot hide that George Lavender is my pick for Sharif I know him personally and I've never met a member of law enforcement more dedicated to the protection of the citizenry.
One final note I'm excited to announce that both Diane Carnes Ross County Republican Committee Chairwoman and Dustin Proehl Ross County Democratic Committee Chairman have agreed to be interviewed on the the results of our local primaries. Look for these posts to come soon.
