Club members also had the opportunity to purchase votes for a separate ballot for $1 apiece. This raised over $300 for the club and made that set of results a little different. I added this feature to see the depth of support for each candidate, and it also allowed people to split tickets, as it were. I know I did.

Tomorrow night after I attend the Wicomico Neighborhood Congress inaugural meeting I’ll post more on tonight’s Straw Poll – what the candidates said and other interesting items. I got pictures and text of tonight’s event so look forward to it.
Crossposted on RedMaryland.
John walter came with a bunch of poeple yesterday, and they were buying tickets buddy. Well at least the club made some money.
Well, yeah. I expected all the candidates to bring at least a few people, so it would all even out.
More on this tonight.
You all should do a straw poll about the Democratic presidential candidates, because there is no way a Republican is going to be elected president this time around.
That’s a suggestion to be made to the Democrat club. And don’t count your chickens before they hatch.
