This sucks. Moran is an idiot and Rosenberg would have been a much better congressman.

Rep. James P. Moran Jr. won today's Democratic primary in Virginia's 8th Congressional District, defeating challenger Andrew M. Rosenberg in a contest that has focused more on personal issues than policy.

With more than four-fifths of the vote counted, Moran led with 58 percent of the vote to 42 percent for Rosenberg, according to an Associated Press vote count. Moran now faces Republican candidate Lisa Marie Cheney of Alexandria, who was chosen May 15 at a party convention.

Many of the voters interviewed today who supported Moran said they came out to vote because they thought the seven-term congressman had been unfairly characterized in the race. Supporters said he continued to be an effective representative for the district despite several political and personal controversies in recent years.

Some who voted for Rosenberg said they knew little about the 36-year-old Alexandria attorney but were determined to vote against the incumbent.
