I don’t think it’s incompetence. It’s more like carelessness. When you become overconfident, you might get careless. They were careless when they tried to rein him in with legislation. They handed him issue and it is backfiring on them.

Halbur didn't even have a enough money to introduce himself to voters. He beat the establishment pick in the primary and Republicans thought Sand would beat him easily. I don't think it was more complex than that.

If you're talking about the old Gazette building, we no longer own it and we don't have offices there anymore.
