In fact, every candidate Michael personally campaigned for during the election cycle went down to defeat.
Michael traveled to Colorado twice to campaign against pro-life Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, a Colorado congresswoman. He even attended a late October debate between Musgrave and her opponent and shouted at her when the event concluded.
But his efforts failed as Musgrave defeated her opponent, pro-abortion state Rep. Angie Paccione, a candidate Michael endorsed.
Meanwhile, Michael traveled to Colorado in July to host a fundraiser for Congressional candidate Peggy Lamm, who proceeded to lose her Democratic primary the next month.
Michael Schiavo didn't fare too well in Connecticut either, where he campaigned for Greenwich businessman Ned Lamont. On Tuesday, Lamont lost his bid to replace Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman.
Lieberman has also voted for a Congressional bill that said federal courts should review the lawsuit Terri's parents filed to stop Michael from killing her.
Finally, Michael was unable to rally support for a candidate in his home state of Florida.
He backed Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jim Davis, saying he was one of the few politicians who "stood up and acted with conviction.... He stood up not just for me and not just for Terri but for every American."
Davis and Schiavo developed a bond after Terri's death as he called Michael to support him.
Michael's support, however, didn't give Davis enough votes on election night as he lost by a 52-45 percent margin to Charlie Crist.
The defeats probably won't faze Michael, who said during the elections he would do whatever was necessary to target pro-life lawmakers who sided with Terri's parents.
Schiavo said that, while Terri's family works to make sure the disabled and elderly get proper medical care, he will do anything necessary to go after pro-life lawmakers who voted for the bill to support them and back candidates who think assisted suicide and euthanasia is okay.
"I will go as far as I need to go," Schiavo said.
He indicated he will campaign for candidates in other states and likely speak out about the 2008 presidential elections.
Terri spent 15 years in a minimally conscious state, although she was able to communicate in a limited manner with her parents and others. After years of court battles, Michael won the right to kill her via euthanasia and told doctors to remove the feeding tube that provided her with food and water.
Terri died on March 31, 2005 after a painful 13-day starvation and dehydration death.

Michael, you got your blood money, nobody is buying your BS, so go away.
Pro-Life Ping
Ping.
well, being a loser, that just fits in quite nicely....
I see that as more evidence of the liberal mandate that wasn't.

A silver lining in the election.
The only thing, to the survival of the nation, is does pro-choice or not add to Republicans in the government. We really need to do some studies on this and go with whatever helps.
Without a nation, this stuff is meaningless.
Whenever I came to a candidate Michael endorsed, I wrote in Ted Bundy instead.
One would have to have a heart of stone to read that without laughing.
Michael, do yourself a favor and just go away. No, better yet, keep at it. '08 ought to be fun, watching you scramble to support your favored candidates, and watching them scramble to keep you away from them...
His endorsement is the kiss of death.
The people saw him for what he was.
Sounds like that creep wants to spread more death. You got what you wanted, Michael, now get the hell out other people's lives.
Like Mama Sheehan, he is unaware that his time (15 min.) on the world stage is over.
Hehe.
IIRC, Bundy at least feigned remorse at the end.
He wins the right to kill Terri, to legally murder his wife, and he now wants to hurt her parents as much as humanly possible as well as everyone else who had the audacity to speak against EVIL. Monster is too kind a word for him.
"He wins the right to kill Terri, to legally murder his wife, and he now wants to hurt her parents as much as humanly possible as well as everyone else who had the audacity to speak against EVIL. Monster is too kind a word for him."
That's what it was all about for him. He loved the power over her parents. I wondered how he was going to handle having no more power or attention, now that he lost both. It does not surprise me that he is still trying to get attention.
He campaigned for Kathy Castor and she won FL-11.
Pshaw. He can scarcely dream to compare himself to that level of evil. He'd be laughed out of hell.
Castor is also in one of the strongest 'Rat districts in Florida, she got almost 70% of the vote, she probably didn't need to campaign at all.
