CNN just announced Russ lost. I give up on America. My heart is broken.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

We've lost the best person ever sent to DC. Jeffersons Ghost was born not long after 9/11, after the USA PATRIOT Act came into existence. The first email I wrote to a public official was to Russ congratulating him for being the only elected official in DC to vote to defend the Constitution. My heart is broken

1. Truly a sad day in America

:cry:

[Jeffersons Ghost]

9. It's a sad day in the world when the idle rich destroy a real leader and patriot

[Jeffersons Ghost]

11. I'm actually crying. And I don't do that often.

[Lifelong Protester]

<sigh>

[AllyCat]

[somone]

6. Terrible, terrible loss

[City Lights]

7. Same here.

:cry:

[tallahasseedem]

8. I hear you...

however, I'm not giving up. I refuse to let these assholes get a hold of anything in 2012.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

10. it's a warning to other politicians. Russ was anti-wat

[Jeffersons Ghost]

12. kick! believe it! If the Military Industrial Complex can unseat Russ I hate the USA

[Jeffersons Ghost]

13. kick! Know me for who I am

[librechik]

14. weeping! But emptywheel passes on a great idea...Replace AG Holder with Feingold!

what a nice daydream....I would forgive Obama completely if that happened. (sigh)

[slipslidingaway]

16. Great idea! n/t

[Hawkeye-X]

15. Russ hasn't conceded yet. Madison hasn't been counted and neither has Milwaukee

there's still a chance that Russ might just pull it off.

[librechik]

17. Just heard--fingers crossed

[InfernalJustice]

18. This is just brutal.

I can't believe that Wisconsin voters (my state) can be swept up with incompetent arguments. Russ was one of the few politicians we've had that actually votes for what is best for the people of Wisconsin and the USA.
