Very rarely do you see the kind of contrast between candidates as you do in Senate District 9. Elizabeth Halseth, who defeated state Sen. Dennis Nolan in the GOP primary despite a vacuous campaign, has topped that vacuity in the general election. She has avoided debates and crowed that she is the only candidate “that has children” (grammatically and morally challenged). Her opponent, Benny Yerushalmi, has impeccable education credentials (Stanford, UCLA), a guy with a law degree and MBA willing to leave his small business to go to Carson City for four months. He can speak articulately about the state’s past, present and future. As I said, what a contrast. Wonder if voters will notice?
