I know this is going to disappoint many DUers here but...

Ben Quayle lost his primary last night in Arizona!



Quayle Loses House Primary in Redrawn Arizona District

PHOENIX — United States Representative Ben Quayle lost his bid for a second term in office on Tuesday, defeated by another first-term incumbent, Representative David Schweikert, in a nasty, costly and very competitive Republican primary in a newly drawn congressional district.

With 80 percent of precincts reporting, Mr. Schweikert, 50, won 53 percent of the votes cast in the district, which encompasses parts of Phoenix, most of Scottsdale and several suburbs to the north. It was a tight finish to a race featuring candidates of very similar ideologies, but very different personalities and backgrounds


I'm sure the other republican isn't much different that Quayle but I just found that kid of former VP Dan Quayle to be annoying as hell!

is going to find a way to blame Obama and the evil evil Socialists in Arizona.

That privileged little prick is every bit as annoying as his dumb as dirt old man.

Have already worked through the 5 stages of grief and am now in a 6th, rarely- experienced stage:
pure, happy-dance hilarity!
