Quin: Jim Leach’s defeat is a stunner, yes, though thanks to Dave Hogberg’s report on Leach’s district a few years back I wasn’t at all surprised. It kept moving left on him, and he could only hold off the barbarians for so long before the walls crumbled.
One more thing about Dave Hogberg: he called this year’s Senate races to a T, just as he did the Senate and Electoral College results in 2004. That’s three perfect games he’s now pitched, two more than Don Larsen.
