Makes Brown’s victory in MA seem like more of a fluke.
This is a Demo district but McCain won there. All the more reason we should have won it. Some say Clinton helped because he is popular there. If that is the case then the nation still is in big trouble.
The Dem here ran as a conservative, it sounds like. Yet in so many other districts these people run as moderates and deceive the voters and end up siding with Pelosi anyway. If the 12th district couldn’t see this then they get what they deserve. Too bad they and the rest of the people who vote Dem will drag all of us down with them.
I’ve seen too many times where republicans celebrate too early. How many were saying there was no way obama could win?
I don’t see Republicans taking back the house or the senate in 2010. They have a lot of work to do. Hopefully, conservatives will realize this and not let up. Even if they don’t take back the house and senate, it would sure be a lot better than it is now if they took back a lot of seats.
I guess the dems in that district won't vote for a black candidate.
These two are completely unrelated. This is a local race where dem was acting more like a conservative. He ran against ObamaCare, and the GOP candidate failed to paint the guy as a Pelosi Dem. This is a Dem district that can vote GOP, but it takes a good campaign. Additionally, the Dem primary for Senate likely brought out more Dem voters than GOP since Toomey had it in the bag.
I think it is safe to say Burns is the wrong guy to run in November, so it will be a tough one to win back, but not all districts are meant to be up for grabs.
