Republican U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert has won re-election in Washington's 8th Congressional District, defeating two-time Democratic challenger Darcy Burner in a close race.

3. I agree!

Don't live in his district, but still get the ads. He's a jerk.

4. Like the rednecks...

the suburbanites still cling to their members of congress that continue to work against their interests.

7. I live in this district

and it's very mixed. The southern part is lower to middle class, but the northern part is the very upscale Bellevue area. They always vote Republican. Hell, they hold fund-raisers for Reichert.

5. Shit that sucks.

I'm surprised it didn't take Reichert 20 years to count the votes :eyes:
