Wow that's impressive.
Tara Grubb ends up with 11.19% of the Vote
The first congressional candidate with a weblog exceeds the total percentage polled in the 2000 election by a write-in Democrat and the last Libertarian to face Coble (total 9%). Grubb had no money and no presence when she launched the weblog in August. She never posed a serious threat to the nine-term incumbent, but she dared to try something new and it sustained her in an insurgency campaign. Was this the lightning bolt some hoped for when Grubb started blogging? Of course not. Was it an incremental step forward? I think so. Props to Tara for putting herself out there, and for being true to herself. [EdCone.com]
