Republicans Solidly In Control

Looking at the Election results from earlier this month, there were no surprises as nearly all of the Republican candidates swept to victory as expected. In a nutshell, the GOP overwhelmed the Democrats again this year due to the following factors:

* Better candidates
* Enormously better fundraising skills
* Well organized, experienced, and motivated Committee members
* Significantly better strategy and tactics

Bottom line? A significant majority of residents think the town is being run well, and that their quality of life is good. That's a winning formula in politics at any level, as long as the elected officials keep their noses clean and don't screw up somewhere.
