I noticed Schwartz vs. Brown is up there. If you would have asked the political experts in let's say June or July who would win the PA 13 race, most would have said Brown. If anyone was saying Schwartz, they would be considering it an upset.


Are you kidding me?  Schwartz-Brown in June or July was considered a pure tossup leaning Schwartz.  No expert analyst said Brown was going to win.  Only you and TeenGOP thought Brown "was in the bag".  CNN and Congressional Review had Schwartz winnign back then as well.

Unfortunatley, as we approached the final weeks of the campaign, someone prediciting a Schwartz win wasn't considering it an upset. When Schwartz was declared the winner, no one was in shock. I thought Brown would pull it off but I knew that if she didn't I wouldn't be that surprised.

Therefore, PA 13 was not the biggest upset in my opinion. There are several who come close to earning this title of "Biggest Upset of '04" so it's hard to say there's just one. A race that does stick out: KY Senate race. Bunning - 51%  Morgiardo 49%. That was just sad.

I don't mean to be a prick, but WHAT THE FU-K ARE YOU CRYING ABOUT???  For crying out loud we lost the presidency and PA has a 12-7 GOP advantage in the US House and both Senators.  Is there anything you're thankful for?  Do you want the GOP in PA 1 and 2 as well?
