Mark Warner won, as widely predicted, stomping Mr. "No Car Tax" Gilmore (the most idiotic campaign that ever won a governorship). <BR/><BR/>I was also pleased that Elizabeth Dole lost, although I used to really like her! Her campaign was squarely out of Rove's playbook. <BR/>A congressman from NC (Robin Hayes) also lost after making a ridiculous anti-liberal rant. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately another Republican congressman, Minnesota Erik Paulsen, won his race, despite having altered (darkened) the skin of his Indian-American opponent in ads. I really wanted to see a 30 year old Iraq War vet in Congress. Maybe in two years, Ashwin Madia.Trailing Malehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06987176105003909590noreply@blogger.com
