FL-15. Nobody gives a shit, but...
Edited on Tue Nov-07-06 08:37 PM by Pacifist Patriot
I know this isn't a toss up and it's still going to go to a Republican (barf!), but I can report good news nonetheless.

Number of Precincts 165
Precincts Reporting 148 89.7 %

Dave Weldon Rep 56734 56.13%
Bob Bowman Dem 44335 43.87%

This is the first time in my memory that Weldon (barf!) has garnered less than 60% of the vote. This is actually a strong showing for a Dem in this district and it makes my heart proud. Of course I'd be happier if that deluded crook were tossed on his boney ass, but I'll take the gain as we head into 2008.

Two more years of being represented by a reprobate...dammit! Please give me a Democratic majority to make it worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!


ETA: How the fuck can Tom Feeney (FL-24) have 61% of the vote with 92% of precincts reporting. Isn't the man under investigation????

3. If we get the House, I'm sure he won't be representing you for long.
What, with all those investigations and such.

8. If I don't have optimism, I wouldn't get through this. It still looks like...
the only Democrat representing my interests from City Council to POTUS will be Bill Nelson. (Gag!)

6. As Bob has mentioned
He has already gotten drafted legislation, lined up co-sponsorsbills passed without even being a member of the House. So, I'm sure he's not that worried
