Perhaps an appointed position for a while. We have to get more thinking women running for office so that when an opening exists, they can run and win.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37248244.post-43674751559917078202014-03-13T09:37:25.713-04:002014-03-13T09:37:25.713-04:00I'm with Crespo too.

That means that more than half the voters in his district did not vote for him. This says a lot for a district that is majority Republican. Less and less it appears voters are not casting along party lines. The Dems need to take advantage of that. The Dems also need moderate, progressive candidates.<br /><br />Sink is a great person.

First, for the last 40 years that district has elected a republican congressman. That they elected another one just makes it 41 years. Second, that she lost by only about 3,000 votes is a miracle given their history alone. Third, given the amount of money that was spent by the republicans, it should have been a much larger win.

Money played a part, no question,, but Alex Sink was he BIG problem. She was a terrible candidate when she ran for Governor and that's why she lost. While I didn't focus too much attention on the latest race, I'm willing to bet that she was as terrible, if not a worse candidate this time. Al Crespohttp://www.crespogram.comnoreply@blogger.com
