There were reasons for the SAG elections' being contentious. In general, they have to do with the legacy of outgoing president Daniels and his faction, to which Harper belongs and which is perceived to be socially conservative yet radical when it comes to contract negotiations -- the group specifically charged that Gilbert is soft on policy toward talent agencies. This is not, however, the kind of hot-button stuff that excites the public, who perhaps viewed the match as a personality contest or a judgment of which was the better '70s TV show -- Little House on the Prairie or Rhoda. Or it just may be that Americans eager to watch a good program looked upon the election as a solid drama with strong performers. Who can tell, it may even move us to vote again in our own elections -- you know, those ones that decide the kind of government we have.
