I hesitate to ask, but anything new here?

While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.
I'd like to believe that someone counts all the ballots, and all the votes, and says "Hey! 19 people voted for nobody!" - but probably not.

And the stomped or stumped query was an honest one. I didn't (and still don't) understand how the original post "stomped" allosaur. Maybe I'm just dense.
We are not all that much apart in our beliefs. I can understand the situation with the Sheriff's position, but I'm not sure about your reference to Scott Walker. That he's a Conservative is well understood by me. Whether or not he would have won his first election is a little confusing to me, are you referring to the county executive position of the governors? He won his recall election because he was a Conservative that cut taxes, threw out the unions and managed to have a surplus.
As to Clark having an advantage as a black man would depend on whether the county has a larger black population or not. In the past two elections, black conservatives have done fairly well. Granted that there are few of them, but when they are they usually get a high percentage of the white vote. That's not always true, maryland with a large black city (Baltimore) population is the perfect example where a conservative whether black or white has little chance of winning.
