Former Senator says the Sept. 9, primary wasn't what he hoped for but he still believes in "the validity of the vote."

By Sen. Bob Smith
I want to express my heartfelt thanks to you all for your dedication and support and for contributing your time and effort in our campaign. I was deeply moved by your expression of confidence and I am honored and humbled that you had trust in me and stood by me.
While the outcome of Tuesday’s primary was not what we hoped for, I still believe in the validity of the vote. I congratulate Scott Brown on his win.

The kind notes that have come my way remind me that no other candidate can ask for a better group of supporters than we’ve had in this campaign. Especially in my core group of staff members, the level of dedication, hard work and sacrifice – the amount of sheer heart you’ve shown – speaks volumes. I’d like to give special thanks to Jack, Pat, Karen, Kevin, Sharon, Jim, Michael, Chuck and Di, Nancy, and Cindy and all the others who have helped along the way. Thank you for your patriotism and support.
One of the great consolations in any race is the passionate support you get from so many people you meet throughout the state and who share your values. Our beautiful state now faces many challenges and I urge you all to continue to fight for the principles that we hold so dear, including Pro-Life issues, Pro Second Amendment, Support of our Veterans, keeping our Constitutional Conservative values and our Rights to Liberty and Freedom. Your participation is vital to our system.
