GOP loses bid to take over Giffords seat

"You had a bad day...The camera don't lie..."

Yesterday was like a diarrhea sundae for the Republicans, and the results from the special election in Arizona are like the strawberry on top.

To the surprise of nobody except the Tea Party brain trust, the Democrats have maintained their hold on Gabrielle Giffords's congressional seat following yesterday's vote. As of now, the margin is a decisive 8%.

The Republican campaign for this seat was sleazy from beginning to end. This after the GOP should have had the decency to sit it out, considering the circumstances.

Yesterday's election came after the Republicans bluffed over the Wisconsin recalls (in which they lost the Wisconsin Senate) and the jobs report backfired in Mitt Romney's face (as President Obama expanded his polling lead).
