Seems to me splitting the vote between Mathewson and Oberdieck was not productive in beating DB. Not a word was said in our club about voteing for Mathewson, and a letter from our district VI VP Charlie (do nothing) Bauer was sent to our club president and read to the membership supporting DB. Maybe defeating Charlie Bauer in his next election is the way to go, but certinally Mathewson did not get the word out to any one in district VI asking for their support as did DB that I heard about.. I in fact did change my mind and went ahead and cast my vote, although in retrospect it was not enough to change the talley. Looks to me if only one person challenges DB next time and 4,500 more people vote for the challenger DB can certinally be defeated.
