Winners & Losers

Post Election Analysis You Will Only Get Here

Winners:

  • Beverlee-301 votes @ WL, Kathy-90 votes
  • WL voter turnout, 25.7% of registered voters
  • Absentee ballots favored Roper 120 to 93
  • Roper takes every precinct except Parkville, Houston Lake, Line Creek
  • County debt, JE Dunn, Dusenbery flipflop on reimbursement, county employees 
  • Endorsements for Roper from Anderson and Knight
  • No TV (for Bev)
  • Landmark endorses Roper
  • Both wear pearls

Losers:
  • Hoy failed to bring home the vote in WL, the losing margin was much worse for Dusenbery in WL than it was for Roper in Parkville
  • Parkville had 21.1% turnout, the Dusenbery stronghold (or was it?) did not come through, sealing the loss
  • The advantages of being an incumbent and name recognition should have been a winner but...fail
  • Ok, I did think the Pinocchio thing was a bit overboard
  • "Vote against Beverlee" turned out to be a bit lame 
  • Honey, I shrank the government, did not attract many fans
  • TV (for Kathy)
  • KC Star and Luminary endorse Dusenbery
  • Both wear pearls

It was bad enough I had to ask for a Republican ballot, and then Kathy lost. That will teach me.
