I met Pam Spaulding at the CNN election night blogger party last month. I doubt there is much we agree on when it comes to politics, but I was glad to see that we agree on William "Deep Freeze" Jefferson.

Incumbents can win run-offs... (Below threshold)1. Posted by Jim Addison | December 6, 2006 2:22 PM | Score: 0 (0 votes cast)
Incumbents can win run-offs from multi-candidate fields, but only if they are at least about 45% of the vote. The reason is that most of the other voters have already decided AGAINST the incumbent. Sometimes a personal feud between other candidates in a campaign will hurt the other finalist, but that is rare - especially when the incumbent only pulls 30%.
