1. That was one of the few seats we lost this year

Along with Cazayoux and Mahoney. Neither of whom I miss.

2. I am not sure we will miss Boyda either

8. Even though some political sites had upgraded the Boyda race to

"Leans Democratic", I had a bad feeling about this race when I was visting relatives in Kansas two weeks before the election. I saw far more Jenkins signs than Boyda signs along the highway, and more Jenkins ads on television. She was a top tier opponent (the Kansas State Treasurer) and very photogenic as well. I wasn't the least bit surprised that Jenkins pulled this one out.

11. Boyda wasn't bad......not like Cazayoux, Lampson, or Mahoney. n/t

10. And Nick Lampson....the absolute WORST Dem in congress bar none

He had a 22 out of 100 progressive score.

But lemme tell ya, we are on the alert all the time for gay people moving in our neighborhood and the damage they may do to our marriages!
