Who were you happiest to see defeated ?

[jaysunb]

For me, it's a tie between Allen & J.D. Hayworth

[loveable liberal]

1. Mark Kennedy (Screech) R-MN

[Wickerman]

55. I'll give that a big second.

:applause:

Was real glad to see Tim Walz beat Gil Gutknecht down here in S MN (01), too.

[dflprincess]

72. Mark Kennedy wasn't just beaten, he was pounded into the ground

The estimated population for Minnesota is just under 5.2 million. About 2.2 million voted in the Senate race and Klobuchar beat Kennedy by 440,000 votes.

Besides Kennedy, the other race I enjoyed was in my (state) senate district. The state senator we had was a nasty old Republican wingnut that I think has represented the district since before Minnesota was a state. He's been known to send nasty letters to his opponents after he's won reelection more less asking how they could have had the gall to run against him. It was a real upset and something of a surprise to see him go down.

[Left Is Write]

80. Ditto.

[Greeby]

2. Hmm, the best one of all is still up in the air

Jean "Cowards cut and run" Schmidt, that race is still too close to call

[ck4829]

3. Ken Blackwell

I breathed a sigh of relief when I had learned that he would NOT become the next governor of Ohio.

[lcordero2]

37. I was relieved when he conceded

Since there were demonstrations in 2004 I thought that it was going to turn from an "election" to a police action.

[AlCzervik]

4. Pombo---that might be my favorite victory.

[acmejack]

7. Likewise!

Environmental assassin.

[AlCzervik]

18. those people deserve so much credit for taking that abomination down.

i live is District 3, we have Lungren and unfortunately he got re-elected but the democrat that ran against him Bill Durston was a first timer and got close to 40% of the vote, Doolittle is up in district 4 and that was also a close one. When Doolittle gets indicted and steps down i'm hoping his opponent Charlie Brown, yes Charlie Brown can win that seat.

[Athletic Grrl]

99. Dayum...

Forgot about Pombo and he represents the eastern part of my county.

:puke:

[tsuki]

28. I liked that one also. n/t

[Freedom_from_Chains]

5. Oh gheez, where does one begin

there are just so many too pick from.

[Ikonoklast]

6. Santorum, hands down

He even made crazy people nervous.

[Tinksrival]

11. Little Ricky!

[buddysmellgood]

8. John Gard. Quit Wisconsin legislature to run for an open seat. Was beat by

Kaggen. Now he is OUT. YEAHHHHH.

[BlackVelvet04]

9. Allen.......

what an ass he is.

[dolo amber]

10. Blackwell, Santorum, DeWine

:woohoo:

[Blu Dahlia]

12. I honestly wanted an encore of that first Bush press conference

I was :rofl: because Mr. Bush was so angry. I loved seeing him squirm.

[rox63]

13. In the national elections, Santorum and Allen

Locally, I was so glad that Kerry Healey lost the MA governor's race.

[AndyTiedye]

14. Allen

[nevergiveup]

15. Conrad Burns

[niceypoo]

16. Hayworth and Santorum

Hayworth was a major league halfwit.

[bedpanartist]

17. Mike DeSwine and I am blacker than Ken Blackwell

It's true!

[Generator]

19. Blackwell! Harris! Jean Shmidt! Ron Sexton (Oregon) and Ford

Everything I've read about the Ford makes me pray he goes away. (AND I know he wants me to pray)

[jgraz]

48. Isn't Schmidt winning?

[Generator]

56. Crap. She's ahead by 2k votes they haven't called it yet.

Just checked-I thought she was out.

[Ecumenist]

20. Pombo, Allen, Harris and Blackwell..

HAPPY, HAPPY! JOY JOY!!

[montana500]

21. Pombo and Santorum

nm

[Ringo84]

22. Re:

Most definitely Katherine Harris, Macaca, Santorum. But I'm actually glad to see that ALL those Republicans lost power.
Ringo

[grl2watch]

23. MARYLAND GOV. BOB EHRLICH AND LT GOV STEELE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who only got elected because silly black people voted for Steele
and because Baltimore votes were tampered with! Oh, it was foul..but this is Sweet!

[Proud MD Liberal]

69. I could not agree more

Those guys really had to go.

[antonialee839]

24. Man on Dog and Maccaca

[tsuki]

25. Katherine Harris. And do you know that my stooooopid county

voted for her? With as many people as I talked to, everyone told me that they would not vote for her. And they apparently did, or Diebold did. Who knows?

[gaspee]

26. Santorum

I loathe him and his ugly mug.

[jarab]

27. Allen ...

Had he won, he might have topped their ticket in 08.
A racist was outed, and without Webb's campaign and a lot of luck, where might we have been without ever knowing it til too late.
...O...

[williesgirl]

29. Definitely Felix

[Bluestar]

30. Pombo and Calif. SOS Bruce McPherson

[roody]

40. I'll drink to that!!!

[shanti]

44. all right!

:thumbsup: and i'll throw in allen for good measure!

[Raine]

31. Santorum

if he was the only puke to lose I would be happy.

[wholetruth00]

32. George Allen.

[Karatist Preacher]

33. Three-way tie

Wish it had Lieberman, but in no particular order:

Allen
Santorum
Burns

[bunny planet]

34. Macacawitz Allen

[Patsy Stone]

61. I picked

Man on Dog Rick. :)

:hi:, bun! You know, this is the third day in a row I woke up and nothing bad happened to America. I'm getting used to this.

Shabbat Shazzam!

[bunny planet]

73. Shabbat Shazam indeed.

Yes Pats, I could get used to this too.

[ronnykmarshall]

101. Sweetie darling ...

you are spot on!!!!

[Patsy Stone]

108. Sweetie!

I've been meaning to ask you: are you Steph's flower girl? :rofl:

Clinky, darling!

[ronnykmarshall]

112. We'll see sweetie.

I hope La Croix has an outfit for me.

[Graybeard]

35. J D Hayworth...bloviating sack of crap.

[jayfish]

96. 2nd That.

I can't stand that pig.

Jay

[sweetheart]

36. It was a real joy to see all republican senators

and most of the congressman inspecting the site of the nuclear test with
the vice president when the trigger misfired. . . too bad about the S&P 500
corporate board retreat 200 yards away, and that the trigger misfired on the
surface before the bomb was lowered to depth.

And thus ends the last 'underground' overground test and the stupid white racists
before the regeneration of america and the ending of nuclear weapons arsenals around
the world.

... (exhale) :-)

[Buzz Clik]

38. Pombo and Santorum in a photo finish. Ryun (Kansas) distant third.

[pissedoffprogressive]

39. allen and burns. Quite frankly all of them

:silly: :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly:

[William769]

41. The Majority!

[gully]

42. Bush.

WE defeated Bush.

[vixengrl]

43. Santorum--he's an odd duck.

And I'm in PA, so, it's nice to have a Democratic senator representing me, now. Santorum had a habit of speaking whatever came to the surface of his mind, and there was a lot of surface, there. But you know, I really didn't know much about George Allen before this election, and the more I learned, the less I liked, and since the PA race wasn't all that close, I think seeing Allen go down was actually more satisfying.

[razors edge]

45. Rush Limpballs.

Had to concede to be a liar.

[SammyWinstonJack]

46. bu$h rove and the repugs.

[LoZoccolo]

47. Man, that's hard. Santorum or Allen? n/t

[La_Fourmi_Rouge]

49. Pombo!

Too bad Durston lost this one... but he has the nads to give it another go. My sister is a pediatrics murse at Kaiser, and Durston is a doctor there. Word is he is a great guy.

Also, it was tough to see Doolittle get re-elected, but he will be gone soon, anyway.

Frankly, all things considered, if someone had asked me if I could live with Lungren and Doolittle so long as Pombo got the ax, i would have taken the deal. Fact is, Doolittle's district is so red it should have its own color, and Lungren is so stupid I don't see him being much of a problem for Madame Speaker (god I just love saying that... "Madame Speaker Nancy Pelosi".)

[Seedersandleechers]

50. For me without a doubt Jim Talent

I am so proud of Missouri.

[Seedersandleechers]

51. For me without a doubt Jim Talent

I am so proud of Missouri.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

52. Macacalypse Now vs. Santorum WOULD have been a tie, but since

Santorum was polling so badly and we more or less knew he was going down early, Macacalypse was way sweeter.

[jgraz]

53. Allen, cuz that gave us the Senate

Otherwise, Pombo, Hayworth, Burns and Ricky Man-on-dog Bring-your-dead-fetus-home-for-your-kids I'm-named-after-gay-sex-residue Santorum.

[rwheeler31]

54. Talent

Missouri is swinging.

[UTUSN]

57. For me, it's Sucker-Sucker-SHRUB !!!!1 n/t

[Patsy Stone]

58. Rick Santorum.

Easy, no contest. The others were good (maybe Blackwell and Allen in a tie for second) but this smug mother had to GO!

[JeremyWestenn]

59. I got two.

Senate Santorum and my soon to be former representative Jim Ryun. Nancy Boyda actually pulled it off. We got a big spot in the middle of the United States that's very blue. This spot is the second congressional district of Kansas! Kansas!!

I've never been prouder to be a Kansan.

- Jeremy

[Gwerlain]

60. Pombo. No contest.

That asshole was gutting the ESA, and wanted to drill for oil everydamnwhere. The tension wasn't over for me until I heard he'd lost. Not that I wasn't on tenterhooks over Macaca and Montana; but waiting for them wasn't nearly as bad as waiting for Pombo.

[rocktivity]

62. That Kansas attorney general who was searching everyone's abortion records

and I live in New Jersey!

Morrison vows focus on crime

...(P)rosecutor Paul Morrison...unseated anti-abortion warrior Phill Kline...in one of the most hard-hitting state campaigns in recent memory...Shortly after taking office, Kline launched a secret inquisition, seeking medical records (from)...abortion clinics...and Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri.

...(T)he clinics asked the Kansas Supreme Court to block the subpoenas...(because) Kline was on a fishing expedition...The court allowed the records search, but only after ordering that the patients’ privacy would be protected...

Morrison said Kline’s inquisition was an abuse of power to satisfy his political agenda...“I’m going to remain focused on fighting crime...fraud and abuse...Tonight is a victory for people that believe the attorney general of (Kansas) should above all else enforce the law in a fair and even-handed way.”

[TexasProgresive]

63. L'll Tommy DeLay

It is so sweet that Texas District 22 went to a Democratic candidate.

[PretzelzRule]

64. Macacawitz!

n/t

[kenny blankenship]

65. Allen, Santorum, Blackwell, Harris ; Allen #1, the rest are a tossup

These are all genuinely scary folks. Allen was the most scary because of his 2008 Presidential chances, which hopefully are now flushed away (not to mention his barely veiled, lifelong racism and violent tendencies). Harris and Blackwell have both shown their willingness to cut the very throat of democracy to get ahead in the rethuglickan organization. Santorum is creepy like Harris-- with that special "starring in their own private Bible Story" vibe--but he never made me worry about him becoming President, like Allen did. (I've learned since his defeat that Creepy Rick definitely meant to run for the White House.) Actually I always thought he was kind of a joke, because he radiated creepiness like a neutron star gives off X-Rays, and thus I rated him not much to worry about. But there I go again, "misunderestimating" the appetite of the GOP for sideshow freak idiot candidates for Pres. Soooo glad he's gone. Just because he actually made it to Senator, though, he gets runner-up.

[BayCityProgressive]

66. Either

Santorum or DeVos. Both of them are completely insane.

[kenny blankenship]

74. I must admit that i know nothing at all about DeVos

wouldn't even recognize a picture of that person.

[Dudley_DUright]

67. Harris was a gimme, but after the FL debacle, it was so nice to see

her political career crash and burn. Allen was a close second with too many other dishonorable mentions to mention.

[RiverStone]

68. George "racist" Allen

[longship]

70. That mealy-mouthed J.D. Hayworth.

Every time he opened his mouth... Well, let's put it this way, he gives new meaning to the word, Repuke.
:puke:

[MrSlayer]

71. Scumbag Santorum.

I'm thrilled that he is no longer representing my state.

[VWolf]

75. The republicans

'nuff said.

[Guava Jelly]

76. Jim Talent

:)

[Gman]

77. JD Hayworth and Allen

I laughed when I saw you picked the same 2 I would.

[jaysunb]

92. Heh Heh !!

They seem to be the most "popular." LOL!

[Generic Brad]

78. Ken Mehlman

I realize he was not running for anything, but his over the top bullshit has been driving me batty for the last few years. The announcement of his pending resignation gave me a smug satisfaction and reinforced my belief that karma can and will eventually bite guys like him in the ass.

[JesterCS]

79. Blackwell ( OH ) definately n/t

[photogirl12]

81. Santorum...but

I was really happy to see Sweeney go. It has been a long time coming.

[Codeblue]

82. Personally

I was the gladdest to see Bob Beauprez lose to Bill Ritter as governor. I don't think I could have lived under a government run by Beauprez.

I would have liked to have seen Tancredo die a horrible death at the hands of some sort of raging inferno, but alas, it was not to be. Also, Marilyn Musgrave! Gah! Not that I liked Paccione, but anything would ahve been better than Musgrave.

Nationally, probably Santorum was my favorite loss of the election.

[New Earth]

83. Blackwell

I celebrated with a shot when he conceded :D

[Kat45]

84. Santorum and Blackwell

[GliderGuider]

85. You folks "wiped santorum from the floor of the Senate.".

Yeeeeahhh!

[Ksec]

86. Santorum and Dewine.

Arrogance and abuse of power was my biggest peeve with these SOBs.

[Marr]

87. Pombo and Santorum.

[bigwillq]

88. Santorum

IN CT, Rep. Nancy Johnson

[Skittles]

89. well, Santorum ruined it by giving a decent concession speech

J D Hayworth is good one

[Ksec]

90. My real goal is to watch Rove go down in flames

Now that would be sweet. I prefer to keep smirk in power to remind the country of what they elected.

[Quixote1818]

91. Allen and Hayworth nt

[EstimatedProphet]

93. Blackwell, DeWhine and Krazy Kathy

[Broken_Hero]

94. Talent, Jim Talent...

I thought for sure that guy would maintain his seat...but Missouri proved me wrong, and I love being proved wrong! A shout out to my MO brothers/sister's who voted that idiot out of office!...my second, R. Santorum...bleh, do I even need to say why?...:)

[sandrakae]

95. Rick Santorum, Ken Blackwell and Mark Dewine.

[begin_within]

97. Bush & Cheney, Inc.

[Athletic Grrl]

98. Sanitorium.

Katherine Harris, Allen, Hayworth.

Off the top of my head.

Easy answer, all of 'em. :evilgrin:

[ronnykmarshall]

100. Fucking Katherine Harris ....

She's the cause of all of this bullshit.

[upi402]

102. Bush crime family fascism

a.k.a. corporatism

[CaliforniaPeggy]

103. I was really thrilled to see Debra Bowen beat the shit out of

Bruce McPherson, for Secretary of State here in California....

I thought she was going to lose, and she didn't!

She is genuinely informed and very interested in election fraud!

She will guarantee the safety and security of any touch-screen machine that we use! :patriot:

[EdwardM]

104. Rick Santorum

Now he has plenty of time to make that man on dog porno he has been wanting to make for years.

[EdwardM]

105. Rick Santorum

Now he has plenty of time to make that man on dog porno he has been wanting to make for years.

[Zorra]

106. All of the above. n/t

[bermudat]

107. Macaca Goldstein

That was a shock for me. I didn't believe Virginia would vote his crusty butt out.

[Ino]

109. Jim Talent

Not the worst of the worst, it's true. He's just an average weasel scum-sucker. But now I have a voice in the Senate!

[Hippo_Tron]

110. Senator Macaca

[CountDmoney]

111. Allen!

My state. I voted foe Webb. Life is good.

[MacGregor]

113. Allen!

Because, with my primary and general election votes, I had a hand, however small, in bringing about the Macacalypse.

This is only the second time I voted for a winning candidate where my vote mattered (the first being Tim Kaine a year ago; otherwise, my dumb forgetful ass didn't vote absentee for non-presidential elections while I was off at school). It's a feeling altogether new to me, and quite frankly?... I like it... :P

[jaysunb]

115. Good for you ! And welcome to DU !

:hi:

[Yukari Yakumo]

114. Burns

Mainly that corrupt SOB represented my state. He only gave away the Abrmoff money because he got caught. Who knows which other crooks helped fill his coffers.

Though I'm enjoying Allen's fall. Wanna be President? Kiss that goodbye, FOREVER.

[AspenRose]

116. FELIX

Followed by Steele and Blackwell

[Raksha]

117. Ken Blackwell, definitely.

Also Katherine Harris, for the same reason. I'm glad the word got out that if you're complicit in STEALING an election, you can forget about ever WINNING one. It was especially gratifying to see Ken Blackwell reduced to begging the black community: "Vote for me because I'm black and I grew up in the projects!" after depriving so many of them of their right to vote in 2004...and STILL getting his clock cleaned for his trouble.
