Why are so many of the losing incumbents and losing candidates for election behaving so poorly? It’s an exercise in classlessness, from my point of view.

I’ll be posting frequent updates here (probably every half-hour to hour) and will be Twittering updates as well.
The races I’ll be paying particular attention to are:
President of the [...]

This was, to me, the most surprising contest of all.
Weber, [...]
