Wednesday Poll: Of the many different subplots to local elections in Kootenai County Tuesday, the large margin by which Dan Gookin beat George Sayler for retiring Al Hassel's Coeur d'Alene council seat (almost 1000 votes) surprised HucksOnline readers most. 69 of 170 respondents (40.59%) picked that development as most surprising. Meanwhile, 41 of 170 respondents (24.12%) were surprised that the sun came up on Wednesdady; 34 of 170 (20%) were surprised that Gookin and ticket mate Steve Adams both won; 18 (10.59%) were surprised that veteran Ron Edinger attracted 72 percent of the vote; and 8 (4.71%) that all seven candidates endorsed by Reagan Republicans won.
