I don't feel that I lost. We ousted an RINO and replaced him with a conservative. 3 of 4 ballot proposals went my way (Including the important affirmative action ban) I'm still stuck with the same democrat Governor and senator but I feel that I've gained in some ways.
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."
A good and positive attitude.
