My horses all came in. If it were not Cliff Mishler, I would have
voted for Patti Finner. She works hard for the hobby at the nuts and
bolts that people take for granted. That kind of performance often
does not win friends and too often is repaid with animosity from
people who do not receive deference for their self-ascribed status.
Now that this election is behind us, I look forward to her presidency
in the next board cycle.

I'm glad that Cliff won, and also glad that Finner was defeated. As
far as Herbert, his ties to Cipoletti and the old regime of Bill
Horton is exactly why he didn't get re-elected. But there is one
board member who should've been defeated but wasn't (probably because
he had "dead people from Indiana" vote for him) - Wendell Wolka, who
is one of Finner's stooges (alongside Herbert).

Why would you waste your vote on Finner? Seriously, she ran a totally
half-assed campaign and having Bill Horton speak for her during the
Candidates Forum at Portland this past March wasn't much of a smart
move either. She reeks of the Horton regime and her ties with
Cipoletti (who will soon be on his way to the pokey). If she runs
again, I will make sure she gets defeated! While on the subject of
Finner, she should seriously consider resigning as President of
Central States since she is ramming that organization into the
ground. I dropped my Central States membership after 15 years because
of her.

How, exactly, would that have happened, given the nature of the ballotting
and canvassing?

Resigning one's membership in an organization cements his own
ineffectiveness in bringing about positive change within that organization.

And how, exactly, does one "make sure" someone gets defeated, especially if
he now has no vote? I can think of only one way.

And how exactly will the results of this particular election effect the
average collector's enjoyment of the coin collecting hobby? The
name-calling and bitterness it seems to have generated remind me of some
homeowners' association meetings where residents come close to blows over
who should be elected vice president. Don't we already have enough
controversial local and national politics to angst over?
