Election Returns: Rethugs Rejected

In yesterday's off-year elections in several states, Rethug candidates didn't fare well for the most part. In Kentucky, incumbent Gov. Ernie "And Bert" Fletcher was soundly defeated by former Lt. Gov. Steve Beshear, despite pop singer has-been Pat Boone's ads calling on voters to re-elect Fletcher so that Kentucky didn't become "another San Francisco." In Virginia, the State Senate reverted to Democratic control after years of Rethug dominance, and the Virginia State House of Representative picked up some Democratic seats also. Unfortunately, Mississippi re-elected Rethug insider and pantload Haley Barbour, demonstrating why Mississippi remains the most backward state in the nation.
