gpatt0n Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Stout wins 19th District House Seat with 59.2% of vote Daniel Stout, who apparently wowed voters with his new face and strong conservative positions, has won the special election to replace Glenn Richardson with 59.9 percent of the total 2038 votes cast. Just over 5.3 percent of the eligible voters cast ballots in the special election brought about after Richardson's resignation in early January. A last minute revelation of an affair Stout had at age 19 with his mother-in-law apparently did little to dampen voter enthusiasm. the final unofficial tally had Stout leading with 1221 votes to Ronny Sibley's 716 and Jody Cash's 101 votes of the 2038 votes tallied so far. News of the affair broke last week when an anonymous poster spilled the beans on a site not well traveled by local residents in a topic about the Paulding GOP. Stout answered those charges there but when a similar charge was made on Paulding.com on Saturday, Stout declined to confront the issue. The story finally meandered to the metropolitan press today leaving some residents who had cast a vote for him, regretful.Stout has claimed victory and issued this statement: I’m thankful to the voters of the 19th district for giving me the opportunity to represent the home I love in the Georgia House of Representatives. I’m looking forward to working with respected men such as Representative Howard Maxwell, Senator Bill Heath, Commission Chairman Austin, and our other elected officials to bring to a realization the bright future of Paulding County. We’re in tough times right now. We need to bring jobs to this county. We need to improve our transportation infrastructure. I will work hard to make sure every cent we pay in taxes is reinvested into our area. I am ready to go to work.The citizens of Paulding County have said they are ready for principled representation that will put the needs of our area first. There is no word from the Sibley camp and Jody Cash, who was at the courthouse during the tally said simply "I am the same man I was yesterday and will be the same man tomorrow."

joemturner Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 It would certainly have been better if this had come out earlier. I have had a number of people tell me that it would have changed their early vote. Without commenting on whether it should or shouldn't be a consideration... being elected but having part of your constituency regretting their vote before you are sworn in is a really awful place to find yourself, I suspect. It certainly means you're starting in a deep, deep hole! Link to post Share on other sites

Wonder how many hadn't heard the "story" and will hear it tomorrow on the news? I think a lot of folks voted for him because he put his own statement out there. They thought he must be a stand up guy. I won't say on P.com what I really think. Pubby's. Wonder how much of that 60% is early voting?

Wonder how many hadn't heard the "story" and will hear it tomorrow on the news? I thought the results Pubby posted was the early voting? No? I'm not sure but I have a ton of hits on my site. I have surpassed the year and monthly average for atlanta news avg. and within 100 hits of passing the politics category. I'll have to see how the election results compare to the total hits I have and see if any trend prevailed. Edited February 24, 2010 by PraiseThee Link to post Share on other sites

gpatt0n Posted February 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I'm not sure, I thought they could add before? the early votes and absentee ballots were counted first. The boxes from voting today are coming in and as is typical, they are following the same trend as the early voting/absentee vote. Sibley has won only one box and that by a paltry 5 votes and Stout continues to rack up 60 percent tallies in the balance of the precincts being reported. At this point, I would be surprised to see the vote change. I think it is clear that Daniel Stout came across as a more affable fellow than the somewhat straitlaced Ronny Sibley. pubby Link to post Share on other sites

Einstürzende Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 In addition to being nice pleasant, Stout is unlike Sibley in many ways. For one, Stout--unlike Sibley--doesn't think that people who carry firearms for self-defense in "public venues" (Sibley's words) are irresponsible. Furthermore, he doesn't liken us to meth dealers (again, Sibley's own words). I will be immensely disgusted if Sibley wins. Link to post Share on other sites

NumberCruncher Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Why not both? You do know what affable means, right? Main Entry: af·fa·ble Pronunciation: \ˈa-fə-bəl\ Function: adjective Etymology: Middle English affabyl, from Anglo-French, from Latin affabilis, from affari to speak to, from ad- + fari to speak — more at ban Date: 15th century 1 : being pleasant and at ease in talking to others <an affable host> 2 : characterized by ease and friendliness <an affable manner> synonyms see gracious — af·fa·bil·i·ty \ˌa-fə-ˈbi-lə-tē\ noun — af·fa·bly \-blē\ adverb i'd agree that both are important. however, competency carries more weight than likability in my book.
