Replies/Comments to : Should Jay Batt concede? An analysis of the primary vote

As President of the Republican Club, it must be a blow to Batt's prestige to have so many Republicans vote for an opposing Republican, one who received no support from her party. She had to go it alone and did, resulting in Batt finding himself in the current pickle. Should he continue to run or conceed the race? All those voters, Republican or not, thought Viriginia Blanque was a better candidate and those voters stepped up for the city. They had seem the past and wanted a new future. Isn't it time that Batt withdraw from the race? Put his efforts into building the city up though his business? After all he states he is for small business do the rebuilding of the city. Time to look the political pudants in the eye and tell them the tent is folding and they need to go.

Just got a call from Steve Scalise's robocall. Im suprised a council person with his stature is going out on a limb to support this guy. I thought much more of Steve. Why does the republican party want this guy elected so bad. Seems strange to me.
