 | | Ernie Lopez is running for an office that a Republican ought not to win. |
 | | "Ernie is probably one of the most outgoing guys you would meet, but Bill Roth was shy, and he didn't like campaigning at all, so maybe opposites attract," said W. Laird Stabler Jr., the former Republican national committeeman who went way back with Roth and hosted a reception for Lopez. |
 | | "Ernie absolutely loved it, because he was hearing all those stories for the first time, and the senator absolutely loved it, because he was telling those stories to Ernie, who was hearing them for the first time," said Verna W. Hensley, who was Roth's state director. |
