I don't feel that I lost. We ousted an RINO and replaced him with a conservative.

Congrats. What district?

In my state, Pennsylvania, we lost a fabulous leader, Sen. Rick Santorum.

And my conservative one-term US House Rep. Michael Fitzpatrick lost by 1,200 votes.

Fitzpatrick is pro-Life, a tax cutter, supported the Iraq war (mostly), squeaky clean, faith based, environmentally friendly, pro business --- and yet he was defeated by a dumbed-down Democrat who has a thuggish way of talking, and has already told Tom Delay of Texas to "you better pack your bags and get ready for prison."

I live in Michigan's 7th district. We got rid of Joe Schwarz who was clearly a democrat in disguise and replaced him with Tim Walberg. Schwarz didn't take losing very well. He never congratulated or endorsed Walberg and then on Monday he announced he was running as a write in candidate.

Schwarz was opposed to drilling in ANWAR, pro-choice, pro gun control and pro illegal alien amnesty. Walberg is a minister who is an exact opposite of Schwarz.
