The Near-Great Prognosticator

Well, primary election day in Monroe County is now history and you're probably asking yourself why the outcomes seemed so familiar. IT'S BECAUSE YOU READ THE GREAT PROGNOSTICATOR POST BELOW BEFORE THE ELECTION RESULTS WERE TALLIED.

Let's tally the results:

State Rep., 56th District:
Yes, Republican cronyism and hypocrity won. They name is JOHN MANOR.

State Sen., 17th District:
It was a cakewalk for RICHARDVILLE.

Monroe County Commissioner, Dist. 3:
Oops, former school teacher Al Potratz must have taught his students well. They remembered his name at the polls. Our pick, James Vaslo came in second.Potratz might be even a better choice than Vaslo, who knows?

Monroe County Commissioner, Dist. 4:
WHAT???!!! We've heard of close races before, but a tie? Since this race will be decided by a drawing, we're not ready to concede a misprediction yet. We will concede that it was a lot close than we expected. Stay tuned to see if our prediction of a MENTEL victory ultimately comes true.

Monroe County Commissioner District 5:
Voters gave county-issued cell-phone abuser Bill Sisk all the right numbers.

Monroe County Commissioner District 7:
Republican incumbent Randy Ansel, as predicted, beat back a challenge from Mike Davison.
Democratic John Fowler was victorious over Neil Helfrich.

Monroe County Commissioner, District 8:
Connie Veliquette got a little help from her friends to unseat incumbent James Goebel.

Monroe County Commissioner, District 9:
Former Bedford Township Supervisor LaMar Frederick easily defeated Democrat-in-Republican clothing.

The Bonus Round -- Oops! It's official -- everyone in Erie Township is drunk or related to each other -- or both. Bill Frey, political hack, fixer and besmirched former prosecutor and lawyer, won the supervisor's post over squeaky-clean Michael Grodi.

The Bedford Police millage PASSED easily.

The bottom line: We won't count the tie or the bonus round. The successful prediction rate is 80 percent (but could go higher or lower depending on the Mentel-Kosanovich outcome.).
