As usual, spot on commentary, Mr. Potter. I'm sick of hearing the Acklin and Harris people shooting arrows at each other on the blogs. The truth is that they BOTH stood up and did what the countless "Anonymous" posters (myself included) on these blog sites would never have the courage to do. That is, to put their name on the ballot and fight toe-to-toe against Luke and the machine. As for the griping about one dropping out,the results show that they appealed to different constituences (Harris did better than Acklin would've in the African American districts and Acklin did better than Harris would've in the South Hills), so it wouldn't even have likely added up to 45% they collectively earned. Get over it. Both of these candidates deserve a hell of a lot of credit. They did, in the real world, what most of you can only sit back, hiding behind your computer screens in a virtual world, and type about doing.
