Republican David Jolly won the special election to fill the House seat left vacant by the death of his former boss, Rep. C.W. Bill Young (R-Fla.).
With nearly all of the votes counted Tuesday night, Jolly had 48.5 percent of the vote to Alex Sinks 46.7 percent. Libertarian Lucas Overby had 4.8 percent.
Sink lost the 2010 governors race to Rick Scott. The Democratic Party sunk extensive ad funding into the congressional battle, and DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) tried to paint the loss as a positive.

defeat is good
May we have many such weaknesses in November!
Whistling past the grave yard are we Miss Debbie?
LOL...well, good...I hope we show this same kind of “weakness” in every race in November.
This was with a Libertarian taking 10% of the vote too.
Very impressive.
The “libertarian to bleed R votes” and win with a Clintonian plurality failed.
Anti-regime sentiment in this district was strong.
Yeah Schultzy, I agree that a Rat loss is a good thing. LOL!
polyanna Wasserman Shultz says Dem Loss in Special Election Shows GOP Weakness.
They must have to brew a special crack recipe just for her personal use.
Soooo....Obama carried the district, even Sink carried it in her pathetic run for governor, and now she loses due to GOP weakness. Got it. Apparently too much mayo in the scalp is damaging to brain cells.
Sink got Sunk! And now we have the Cruella LaGru of the RAT “brain trust” telling everyone that this was really a win! I am betting that the years of putting mayonnaise on her hair has finally affected whatever existed inside her head in terms of a brain.
Cool!! I agree with DWS! Any Dem loss IS a positive! Thanks Deb, for pointing that out.
I wonder where she learned to use her mouth like that....
Thanks, Lucas. You jackass. You almost blew it for us regular people.
If this is “GOP weakness”, let there be more of it.
“rat chokes on it”
The article says 4.8%.
Is your data more up to date?
Ha, it wasPelosi that said the democritters should embrace Obamacare.
Let’s see what bug eyes has to say now.
