I think, and hope, that Joe wins back his seat. The fact that the Democratic Party abandoned him says a lot about today's Democratic Party.

What? That they vote their own minds? Heaven forfend.

The Democratic Party didn't "abandon" him; he got support from prominent Democrats across the country, including Bill Clinton. The voters just said they wanted someone else instead. And now the Democratic Party will support the chosen candidate. That's the way it works.

Then JoeMentum hs the balls to say he's going to do what he thinks is right for "my party". But the Democrats acted ... uhhh, "democratically".

Cheers,
