1. He was going to lose b/c his demographic were minorities & he didn't come through for them.

That was a gimme.

2. that is two pick ups so far. You know in '94 not a single GOP congressman lost

3. YAY!

4. It's good that we picked up the seat, but...

Cao seemed to be someone we could work with, not a demagogue.

5. Yes, he was/is. Too bad it had to be him, imo.

6. Melissa Harris-Perry(of Maddow fame) said she was the one R

she was supporting and believes he's one of the good ones.

7. Unless La. doubled its population in the last decade, that's LA-02.

Cao was only in there in the first place because "Dollar Bill" Jefferson was too corrupt even for Louisiana.

8. Yay!!!!!!

Cao was supposed to be the future of the Republican party. However, that was short lived with all the Teabaggers wanting to "take back America".

9. Another one coming later

Colleen Hanabusa is going to thrash Charles Djou in HI-01. Djou only won in a three-way special election (no primaries) with another Dem (sort of) candidate who wouldn't drop out. :grr:
