Next up on the interview list is Ernie Casbeer, who came out of nowhere to get 44.5% of the vote in a district (PDF) where no other Democrat topped 40% - Bill Moody scored 39.7% in HD59, with most other Dems running seven or more points worse than they did statewide. Casbeer is a veteran teacher, with 39 years' experience, and a self-described "conservative Democrat". We had a good conversation, which you can listen to here. As always, feedback is appreciated.
