Well, today is the day that Judge Bridges holds the first hearing on the

election contest dealing with our gubernatorial race. The Democrats will

move for it’s dismissal, while the Republicans will argue there are enough

problems to justify a new election. No one expects a decision today unless

he outrights dismisses the challenge and the chances for that are considered

minimal. The case could take days, and if the Republicans win, the new

election may not be held til early April. So, with all this going on, the

Governor-pretend chose yesterday to reveal that she had a death threat TWO

WEEKS ago from a mental patient and then went on to suggest that talk radio

might have had something to do with it. For some reason, it took two weeks

to think this important enough to make public, conveniently on the day

before the court hearing, so sympathy is generated and attention is

diverted. Could be a coincidence, but I am skeptical.
