Dennis Kucinich has retained his seat in the House, thankfully.

[flvegan]

One of the very few bright points (for me, anyway) tonight.

Sorry about Florida everyone. I'm surrounded by idiots, I really am. WE are (recognizing I'm not the only Dem or DUer here).

[mirrera]

Thanks I needed that!

[Xipe Totec]

1. K&R nt

[LWolf]

2. That is a bright point.

I shouldn't have logged in tonight at DU to see the returns from the east coast; I'm going to have insomnia worrying about the Oregon governor's race, which won't be decided until long after my bedtime.

3. there is some good news

and yes, sorry for florida. burr won here in nc. but there is still some good news out there. i'm getting all my news from DU because i surfed over to the msnbc page and it was plastered with republicans and their prediction that the house will fall to the repukes. and i do mean fall.

[EFerrari]

4. Marcy Kaptur, too. n/t

[polichick]

5. I don't know how Kucinich can stand serving with so many idiots...

...but I'm so glad he'll be staying!

[Hydra]

25. It's been that way for years for him

He stood virtually alone in opposing Afghanistan and Iraq, and took major flak for standing up for basic principles rather than "practicality."

He's tough though. I wish he was Primarying in 2012, but I wouldn't want that headache either.

6. Glad to hear

he is a jewel

[Desertrose]

7. YAY!!!!!!

Whew!

[Rhiannon12866]

8. Thank you so much for posting!

Dennis is irreplacable... I'm hoping for the same result for my congressman here in NY-20. I made GOTV calls for him and knocked on doors tonight until 8:15. It's going to be close here, so every vote counts... *fingers crossed* :hi:

[RiverStone]

9. Fantastic!!!

+1

[Kajsa]

10. Good! We needed some good news tonight,flvegan!

I'm sorry about FL, too.
:-(

I live in a very red county, myself.

[Bryn]

11. I am a native of Florida

So sorry that so many people in Florida are now just as bad as people in Arkansas where I live now, also surrounded by idiots. When I was growing up, Florida used to be so very blue. I even met Bob Graham. He was an awesome guy! (governor of Florida, then later became a senator)

I am so sad about the loss of Alan Grayson. He's one of my faves. But I won't give up on him. I know he's not in your district so I imagine that people in his are just morans!

Rick Scott...Yuk Yuk Yuk!!!

[felix_numinous]

12. Very good to hear! nt

[AsahinaKimi]

13. That is good news.

So happy about that.

[RoseMead]

14. Sweet! n/t

[slay]

15. That is good news

:) :toast:

[Naturyl]

16. Awesome.This is the first win that actually means something to me.

At least we're still going to have this staunch progressive voice.

[underseasurveyor]

17. Good to here Dennis still has his seat.

Umm yea Florida :shrug: It's hard being surround by idiots. (((Hugs))) for you :-)

[hippywife]

18. Amen! n/t

[Douglas Carpenter]

19. kick and recommend!!

[sabrina 1]

20. Great news, and Marcy Kaptur also.

But each year they have fewer and fewer people to work with them.

I'm just glad they're there. I hoped two years ago would be increasing the number of Progressives in Congress.

[Hubert Flottz]

21. He'd make a good leader.

[austin78704]

22. Dennis is what a rep should be.

He's willing to fight. Even when he loses, he gets back up and fights again.

He earned his seat many times over, so he stays in office even with both parties attacking him.

[YankeeLeft7x]

23. Good

I am so glad Dennis is still in the House.

[Mkap]

24. Kaptur, Sutton and Kucinich...CLEVELAND ROCKS

[Vidar]

26. Thanks for some really good news.

[LaurenG]

27. Ohio is just as bad if not worse, but the Ohio Northerners did good.

I am surrounded by gloating freaks down here so I was happy to see this thread!
