The Democratic primary winner finished the night with 22,000 more votes than Paul sailed to a win on. In fact, overall, 170,000 more voters came out to vote for Democrats than Republicans or teabaggers.
Edit CommentIn Murtha's seat -- much portrayed by the GOP as "low hanging fruit", a red district that went for McCain, and polled in favor of repealing health care reform -- went solidly to Critz, every bit the example of an establishment Democrat.

This Petty criticism is fairly typical of the lefties in Utah.
Edit Comment"The Jason" moron is just another Democrat idiot whose looking for a free lunch.
