Receiving more votes than his combined challengers, Gaye Symington and Anthony Pollina, Jim Douglas has been elected to his fourth term as Governor. The good news is he received enough votes to win an absolute majority keeping the race out of the General Assembly.
Somewhat surprising, Pollina and Symington received about the same percentage of votes. This is a strong showing for Pollina, but his strong persona compared to Symington helped him in such a 'blue' state. If Douglas runs again in 2010, will the Democrats and the Progressives choose to snuggle up and run one candidate? Pollina , after all, is a Progressive masquerading as an Independent in this election.
