And you are bitching because one GOP candidate won out over another GOP candidate which you have somehow twisted into being the fault of the Democrats?

Mara will face at least two candidates from the the Independent party in the November General Election. Schwartz tells WTOP she will not run as write-in candidate, and she won't ask for a recall.

"That would be poor sportsmanship," Schwartz says.

The Republican party of the District, which had vigorously backed Schwartz and painted Mara as unqualified, issued a statement late Tuesday night calling Mara, "The new face of the Republican party in D.C."

Sounds to me as though the Republicans are okay with it.
