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 Sink’s 46.7 percent. Libertarian Lucas Overby had 4.8 percent.
Sink lost the 2010 governor’s 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.

Thank you, Debbie. No further questions. Your honor, the witness may be excused.
Victory is weakness
Anyone know if Sink will once again try to run in Nov. to get beaten for a third time?
Debbie /democrats are spinning so fast they’re word is no longer believable thus they know they’re screwed ! The new transparency !
They’d be better to say nothing
Not so. The article states the Libertarian took 4.8%.
However it was a significant number and shows how easy it is for malcontents to throw an election. Lets hope the kamikaze Conservatives don't end up allowing Hillary to win.
Ralph Nader cost Al Gore Florida and therefore the entire election. The nut jobs on both ends of the political spectrum are a danger to themselves as well as the rest of us.
Go ahead and vote your heart in primaries, but use your head in general elections.
Not so. The article states the Libertarian took 4.8%.
You could say he took away 10% of the GOP vote...:^)
DWS can’t believe they lost after all that cheating.
When Alex Sink ran for Governor in 2010, she carried this locale (Pinellas County) with a plurality 50.52% against overall FL winner Rick Scott. Sink’s support is down the drain.
Wasserman-Schultz has been drinking again. Probably partook of Nancy Pelosi liquor stash.
Now you did it. The purists will come out of their lair and rain pure bile on you.
If you don't stay perfectly right, you are no better than the libs.
There are purists here at FR that continue to say that obama is no worse than Mitt would have been.
Makes me wanna puke in their dope stash.
Let’s hope she will be a 3 time loser and try to run again come November. I guess she is taking the Charlie Crist strategy of foolishly running for office no matter how many times you are being told, “we don’t want you!”
“Well atleast she’s being positive..”
And consistent. She’s a special kinda nuts.
I share her joy in a Democrat loss.
From the mouth of a libtard, she is an idiot. I hope this a sign for Nov. elections.
Uh huh..
DWS.... forever clueless
Heavy snow is a sign of global warming.
Mayo is stuck in her brain.
I can see November from my house. The donkeys need to get use to this...
A positive Wasserman? That used to be real bad news :)
