Steve Britton retains his seat as mayor of Coquile with a win margin of 70%
Dian Courtright earns 546 votes which puts her in line to replace Kathy Hagen who no longer qualifies for city council. Congratulations Dian!!!!
Wayne Krieger and Jeff Kruse retain their seats although it was a hard won battle for Krieger as Rick Goche proved that Krieger has not represented his district with eqnanimity.
President Elect Barack Obama won Coos County by a narrow margin over Senator McCain.
After eight long years we have an articulate, intelligent, thoughtful president who will not make us cringe every time he speaks to another foreign leader. He is young but I believe he will make sure he knows what he is talking about before he acts… a stark contrast to what we have been used to.
UPDATE: In the end, McCain edged out Obama in Coos County – 12,475 to 12,413
Ralph Nader earned 352 votes, Cynthia McKinney 78, Bob Barr 142, Chuck Baldwin 160.
