I admit that I didn’t see this one coming. Skelton has been such a fixture in a primarily rural district for so long that I figured he’s squeak through again.

Wow. Skelton has been there forever!

Amazing. Pelosi’s coattails were toxic.

Heresy it may be, but I hate seeing Skelton go. He's done one heckuva job standing up for the military and the common soldier against the pressure from his own party (and some RINOs).
REP Ike Skelton was one of the Good Guys.

Another incumbent RAT dragged out of the rathole. All of these lontime RATS who continue to get reelected in conservative districts becasue of name recognition alone, must be targeted. They all must go.

Skelton had appealed for votes by pointing to his opposition to his partys health care reform and to his longtime support for the military. But it was not enough to overcome Hartzlers persistent criticism of his ties to the unpopular Democratic leadership in Congress. The exact same thing happened to Gene Taylor here in S. Miss.

Skelton was one of many long-serving Dems to fall. Add John Spratt, Gene Taylor, Earl Pomeroy, and Jim Oberstar to that list.

Skelton had appealed for votes by pointing to his opposition to his partys health care reform and to his longtime support for the military. He voted for it before he voted against it.
He was instrumental in keeping it alive. Nasti let him vote against it at the end to try to save his ass.
