Of course I know what you meant; I was not born yesterday, I am not deaf, and I'll be as upfront as possible. As for "private school snob," yes I got to attend some of the best institutions in the world -- uncannily parallel, we might note, to Stanley Chang's alma maters -- and to earn stellar marks at both. I hope you overcome your resentment, because this island doesn't need folks who attack people when they're down. 

Sam has been a GREAT legislator, as all his colleagues and thousands in the community attest. He has earned your respect over twenty years of selfless service. He did not lose this race; Stanley Chang won. Stanley Chang visited 16,000 homes, and Sam visited 30. Stanley Chang sign waved for multiple hours per day, Sam for a half hour per week. Stanley Chang spent three times as much money, and offered yard signs. Sam didn't offer any unless asked. Stanley sent 15+ mailers; Sam sent 5. Voting's a numbers game, but still it was somehow close.
