The race in the 50th CD has been closely watched as a harbinger for the fall elections.
Several tentative conclusions:
1. The 'culture of corruption' argument doesn't work.
2. Opposing amnesty for illegal aliens does work.
3. John McCain is digging himself into a hole,
4. The Democrats are not likely baring unexpected changes between now and november, to achieve control of the house.
5. Nancy Pelosi, go looking for another job.
6. S. 2611 will either have to be dramatically altered, or it is dead!
This is a Republican district where a Democrat came within a few percentage points of the Republican. This is still an excellent sign for the Democrats and liberal policies.
