On losing the election

[Priscilla Salant <psalant@moscow.com>]

Visionaries,

Was Gary Young quoted out of context in last night's Daily News?  I
certainly hope so, and I'm sure his party does too.

To say about his opponent's victory in Tuesday's election, "There's going
to be a serious price to pay. I will be watching and a lot of people will
be watching," echos all that turns off the modern electorate.  

There is a proper way to win and a proper way to lose. Both should be
marked by humility and grace, not acrimony and threats. The election is
over.  Let's move forward in the best interests of the consituents.
