The Democratic National Committee is crowing about their victory in the special election to replace Congressman Robert Wexler in Florida’s 19th district. “With their votes, Floridians also said ‘no’ to the Party of No,” said DNC Chairman Tim Kaine, as quoted by the Washington Post.
Now, the Republicans have definitely blown a few winnable special elections to the House since Barack Obama has been president. But this isn’t one of them. This is a very Democratic district which Obama and John Kerry both won with 66 percent of the vote. Wexler never won less than 66 percent. Democrat Ted Deutch won with 62 percent, a slight drop-off despite outraising Republican Ed Lynch $1.35 million to $103,000. This was never a winnable race for Republicans.

Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

That's what I was thinking. They outspend us 13-1 and still do 4pts worse then they have in more then a decade?
And that's a victory?
What kind of victory is that?

The only kind that counts, I'm afraid. A lot of folks are thinking that Nov. will see a democrat bloodbath, easily. If there is to be a bloodbath it will take a lot of hard work and solid conservative candidates who can connect with people and articulate their positions. We can't take anything for granted.
