Emerson was a semi-RINO: supported stem cell; opposed Iraq war. The significance is turnout. The Dems sent almost 17K voters to the polls and that’s not bad for a special election. The GOP sent 41K to the polls for a special election. That’s significant. The DNC and Sgt. Daffy Wasserman Shultz are worried this AM. Don’t think they aren’t watching the MO numbers. They probably thought they could win the seat.
Yes.....and, Jason Smith is a true/blue conservative!!! The stunning win and turnout for Smith, coupled with a dismal turnout for the Democrat candidate bodes not very well for the Democrat Party headed into mid-term elections in 2014. Fact is: Obama is now a ful blown, ineffective “Lame Duck” POTUS and radioactive, damaged goods. If the Democrat Party does not remove him from office they will get slaughtered politically in 2014.
