Wasn't this supposed to be a slam-dunk, pretty secure pickup? I did meet Kilroy, a few weeks ago, and found her kind of unimpressive, but still assumed she would win.
Kilroy has always been a terrible candidate which is why she wasn't elected in 2006. I was really disappointed when no one opposed her in the Dem primary. Two times in a row she had relied too heavily on the Columbus portion of the district while allowing her Republican candidate to rack up big margins in the less populated western portion. If she loses again, hopefully the Democrats will somehow keep her from running in 2010.
