http://www.abcactionnews.com/dpp/news/region_pasco/new_port_richey/democrat-amanda-murphy-wins-special-election-for-vacant-seat<snip>
Democrat Amanda Murphy has won the special election for a Tampa Bay area Florida House seat.
According to unofficial results, Murphy -- a financial adviser with Raymond James -- took nearly 51 percent of the vote in Tuesday's race. Republican Bill Gunter -- a pastor at a New Port Richey church -- took 49 percent.
The Pasco County elections office reports that 18,842 people voted in the race, which was just short of 20 percent turnout.
A special election for House District 36 was required after Gov. Rick Scott appointed Mike Fasano to be Pasco County Tax Collector in August. Fasano -- a Republican -- recently broke party ranks to endorse Murphy for his former seat.
The race attracted attention and lots of spending by both parties.
--------------------
Sorry Joe Scum - America is not viewing both parties the same way.

American voters do not like traitors.

He described it as a Democrat winning a Republican seat. And he also said that the Repuke big-wigs are saying this is just the beginning.
