Two constituencies that haven't gotten much play in the post election analysis, but who made a big impact on election day are worthy of note.
Sportsmen. Hunters, anglers and farmers came out strong against Karcher, Panter and Mallet in the 12th, in reaction to Karcher's and Panter's proposed anti-hunting and fishing legislation.
Municipal employees, especially law enforcement. Ironically cops came out strong against Jack Hill for Sheriff, who ran as a tough cop. Hill's streamlining and cost saving proposals, as well as his past efforts in regionalizing police departments did not sit well with those who would have been streamlined under his plans.

too bad those hunters were not enough in the 14th to take out greenstein..she's a co-sponsor..
From my prediction pre-election day about the 12th:
"Mike Panter seems like he’s ran far away from Karcher but can’t hide from his half-assed dual office ban and liberal voting record. Also, an underground campaign has been led by fish and game people against Panter and Karcher for sponsoring a bill that would revise the fish and game council and put the Governor’s choices in charge of something they have absolutely no clue about."
Those guys know how to get the word out...
