Predictions
It’s 2:11am and I’ve just returned from my midnight ride through the county putting up Eichelberger signs. Before I go to bed for the short night, I decided that I should offer my predictions on the races that I’ve paid attention to:
Cumberland County Commissioners - Republicans:
Barclay and Eichelberger win big. These three way races where two get elected make percentage predictions difficult. Let’s just say that the guys win by 20 points over Gunnison. There is a high level of anger out there and it will show in the results. Chairman Stabile had better get in line for the accounting as he put it, because he ought to be the first to resign on Tuesday night.
Lancaster County Commissioners - Republicans:
Wheaton and Smithgall win big. People are mad at their party leadership in Lancaster as well. Heidi Wheaton summarized the state of the county committee pretty well when she called it the Soviet Politburo.
Supreme Court - Republican
Panepinto wins the top spot, then Lally-Green wins the second spot. Panepinto has run a very good campaign. His name is all over the place, he outraised the endorsed team and did nice mailers.
Superior Court - Republican
Jackie Shogun. It’s her turn finally.

Well, here’s the full analysis - I should stick to the races I am actually involved in because besides the Cumberland County Race, and one pick for Supreme Court, I was wrong - big time, in the words of Dick Cheney. LOL. I guess I wasn’t paying close enough attention to what was going on with these other races - they were interesting races to me, but I hadn’t really followed then close enough to make a good prediction. Them’s the breaks, as they say.
