You need to look at the wiki page for Murphy...2008 Romney supporter.

But DWS and the DSCC know what's best for the DINOs.

DWS can count to 218, which apparently eludes a lot of DUers...

I'll say close enough. And you raise a good point.

Have a look at the election section of Grayson's wiki.

It's an interesting history.

Though it isn't the "same seat" entirely, so it's kind of meaningless I guess.

Why didn't Democrats complain about Kennedy's? But when it comes to Clinton's and Bush's, there's a lot of grumbling?

Just maybe it's because of the policies. The economic people surrounding the current and previous two administrations are the very ones who wrecked the economy. Aren't they?
