4. It's good that we picked up the seat, but... |

Cao seemed to be someone we could work with, not a demagogue.

7. Unless La. doubled its population in the last decade, that's LA-02. |

Cao was supposed to be the future of the Republican party. However, that was short lived with all the Teabaggers wanting to "take back America".

9. Another one coming later |

Colleen Hanabusa is going to thrash Charles Djou in HI-01. Djou only won in a three-way special election (no primaries) with another Dem (sort of) candidate who wouldn't drop out. :grr:
