Finally Over
December 13th, 2006 | by Tony Steidler-Dennison |Five weeks later, the mid-term elections of 2006 are finally over.
Voters rebuked House Republicans in the 2006 midterm elections one last time yesterday, ousting Republican Rep. Henry Bonilla from Texas’ 23rd district in favor of Democrat Ciro Rodriguez, a former member who lost his seat and lost his first attempt to return to Washington. Democrats complete the 2006 cycle without having lost a single seat, and now claim 233 members of the House to Republicans’ 202. Bonilla’s loss also is another nail in the coffin for former Rep. Tom DeLay’s Texas redistricting plan.
First Read headlined today’s edition with “Out With A Thud.” A slow thud, but a whooping nonetheless.
