CHICAGO
– Jesse Jackson Jr. won re-election to Illinois’ 2nd Congressional
district by a landslide Tuesday night, beating his two opponents,
Marcus Lewis and Brian Woodwoorth. [He won from the treatment hospital
he was been in since Feb 2012]. As of 8:50 p.m., Jackson had captured 68 percent of the vote with 62 percent of precincts reporting.WASHINGTON - Mia Love lost to Rep. Jim Matheson, son of of the late Scott M. Matheson – one of Utah’s most popular Governors – remains the only Democrat representing Utah in Washington.
Matheson and Love ran in a newly drawn district, which is thought to be conservative, but perhaps not as conservative as Matheson's old district.
She tried and actually ran a campaign. She lost but honorably. Jackson is in the Hospital, and won on his name only. But so did Joseph Kennedy III in Barney Franks old district. I guess he has a "safe" seat like Jackson does.
Is it too early to be talking about "Term Limits"?
