Fletch said exactly what I was going to. Yes, Sodrel was a dissappointment. Especially from a pro liberty standpoint. He was a consummate drug warrior who never passed up a chance to harm people with his legislation. He voted a number of times against individual liberty and in support of the state.
Eric didn't cost him the election. He lost it all on his own. Eric just happened to be a better candidate than him.
Really? Name the votes. Which ones? When? Eric a better candidate? Why did he get 42% less of the vote then?
