Arch-conservative beats "moderate" GOP congressman Surely, the traditional media will be moaning about how conservative the GOP has become...how there's no room for moderates in the Republican Party: The contest, which has drawn national attention, represented an ideological clash between Schwarz, a moderate, and Walberg, who was one of the most conservative state lawmakers during his 16 years in the state House. The incumbent, Schwarz, wasn't all that moderate, but. he did vote against the anti-gay constitutional amendment. He was off the reservation so he had to be destroyed. That's what Republicans do. The media accepts that in the Republican Party. But beating Joe Lieberman, oh, that's just wrong. (Via AMERICAblog.) 11:06:55 PM    comment []

Hmm Gee, I wonder how that happened: CLEVELAND — Election officials in Cuyahoga County have replaced seven of the 13 electronic voting machines assigned to a church in suburban Cleveland because the seals were not intact. Elections director Michael Vu says the seals were in place when the machines were sent to the North Olmsted church, but they were either completely or partially removed when checked at the polling place. Tuesday’s special election is the county’s first since a slew of problems in the May primary that led to delayed results and an outside investigation.
