The first returns showed Frank losing. He came from behind and creamed his opponent.

After a power struggle Bwarney took control and gave it to his opponent in the end......

Damn, that was one of the races at the top of my list.
Well, Grayson and Edwards are gone.
Unfortunately, I fear that Reid and Boxer won't be gone.

The only good news is that Bielat scared Barney enough to keep him spending his money on his own race rather than handing it out to others.
He now has a bit less clout since he can't go to anyone and claim that he helped them win their seat.

Just groooossssssssss. How did these idiots vote that moron back in? He is single handily responsible for the poor condition of their state.

Drooling, spluttering, slimy, sodomite, slug beats handsome, Marine and family man.
This could only happen in a place so degenerate that it has been abandoned by God.

That is a disappointment, even though I knew it was a long shot. I would have loved to see Frank unemployed.

Nobody seriously thought he would lose this seat. I mean he has always won by a huge majority and he did it again. He will be in this seat until he leaves on his own or God says it is time to go.
