Gee John it couldn't have been the rape comments could it?
Finger pointing has erupted in the Republican Party over John Koster's loss to Democrat Suzan DelBene in the 1st Congressional District.
Trailing 47-53 percent, Koster conceded the race Friday. But in a letter to supporters, he took shots at national and state Republican leaders.
"Neither the National Republican Congressional Committee nor the Washington State Republican Party (WSRP) stepped up to provide us with anything more than token support. To be frank, we were on our own, yet thanks to people such as you, we nearly overcame the odds," Koster wrote.

Koster, please take your whiney ass and jump into the graveyard of history, where you belong.
He most definitely had all the GOP/Teahadist support, including from the Dark Money, GOP Meth House brigades and every hate pundit.

(53,661 posts)Strange thing, some union leaders I know (not in the state worker union) supported Dave Reichert in his race against her and nothing I said would change their minds. They were also saying they would not vote for Obama until the last moment, although they strongly supported Jay Inslee. Go figure. Suzan DelBene will be good, though.
