Sorry bout that

Yeah, Dad lost his election, but I got to go home and see family, which is a nifty nifty plus.
Really, the odds for my dad were really stacked up against him. First, he wasn't funded very well. Second, the district is gerrymanded to be republican (by the democrats if I recall) so the republican vote is there. Third, and it happens where ever you go, the encumbant had the district for 14 years. They tend to win.
But he's learned a lot. As did I, and my family.

Well I'm not going to say to much about this. I just hope the winner is better then your dad because that's what we're voting for, right? Not saying your dad isn't all good at this. But I'd like to take this objectively ;)

Sorry to hear. If it makes you feel any better, I just plain stayed the hell away from the booths (mostly cause I lost my registration).

Learning to lose gracefuly is good. Sorry your dad didn't win. But the fact that he didn't win tells me that he's an honest man, honest men never win elections.

He lost the election but got smarts along the way (I hope). Sounds like you will enjoy the new original song that will be posted to "Twonks and Plonkers" later today. It's called "The Neo-Conservative Blues." Check it out! It might just make you giggle.

Aww, man... sucks that he didn't win :\ I'm glad you're lookin' at it optimistically, though :D
