18 Percent

All of the professional operatives, all of the resentment towards Mayor Moyer, all of the discussion about Market House, all of the organization, all of the support for Republican Aldermanic candidates. And all of that turned out to mean nothing on Tuesday for Annapolis Republicans.

Eighteen percent. That is all that Alderman Kelley could get.

Unfortunately, this is an extremely dangerous sign for the 2006 Elections. If eighteen percent is this party can muster in an important Mayoral election, that just goes to prove how important it is to work hard and work together to ensure that Speaker Busch gets a run for his money next November.

There is a long road to hoe from here.
