This is democracy - Like it or not.

Our system of government and method of conducting elections requires acceptance of the results whether pleased with them or not. Tonight, I admittedly was not thrilled with some of the results. I honestly believe Bill Pierce would have been a much better choice for our representative in the U.S. Senate. In a local election, I didn't think Kay Rogers' performance warranted another term in office. There are several other races both in Ohio and in other states where I would have preferred different results. Regardless of my desires, the responsibility of citizenship requires us to accept the outcome of elections.

Having said all that, the bottom line is primaries are just recommendations. Republicans are recommending some candidates and Democrats are recommending other candidates. In November all of us will decide whether to accept those recommendations.
