Thank you for laying this out for all of us, Andrew!
Posted by Jim D at March 19, 2004 04:09 PMthanks Andrew -- I'm sure my slacker buddies are all at least aware there's a major scandal a-brewin.

Posted by melior at March 19, 2004 08:24 PMCould someone identify the Attorney General who lost his race over Sharptown?
Speaker Mutscher lost (and was convicted), Lieutenant Governor Barnes lost (although probably not involved), Governor Smith lost (although he vetoed Frank Sharp's bills) and about half of the House lost.
Who is the AG you are implicating?
