WASHINGTON - Republican Vern Buchanan might be the official winner in a messy Sarasota-area congressional race, but Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean says the Democratic-controlled Congress should not seat Buchanan without another election.

"Absolutely not," Dean said in a taped Political Connections interview scheduled to air Sunday on Bay News 9. "You cannot seat someone if you don't have an election that's valid.

This election is not valid. There are 18,000 people who may have voted and we don’t know what happened to their votes,” Dean said.

1. Absolutely right. n/t

2. This race should be far from over.

The margin of "victory" was way too close period, and with 18,000 under votes, no way should it be called for Buchanan. The case for a re-vote is too strong to ignore, but then this IS Jebbie's FLA, so who knows. I'm not bashing all FL, graywarrior, but you do have an image problem there. lol Not unlike ours in GA... Barnes and Cleland were cast out by suspicious machines as well.

Keep up the fight...this is one the dems should win hands-down in a re- vote if all the votes are counted.

3. There was a huge Revote Rally on Sunday, so this is not over.
