It won't matter. If November's electorate is anything like last night's, Fitzpatrick is in deep trouble. He will need to win independent voters by a decent margin in order to defeat Wallace.
Long term, though, having pals of George Galloway in the House from swingy suburban seats is probably not great.
What I really want to know is how Reddick’s people missed all this.
This...is a rather poor characterization. While his foundation did make a donation to New Press for Galloway's speaking tour, that's pretty far removed from 'palling around' with Galloway.
