Congrats to Dave Reichert, who survived the anti Bush anti Republican purge to win reelection to the US House of Representatives, 8th District.

Reichert wins tight race for 8th District

U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert has survived a second Democratic-wave election, bucking a national trend that flipped at least 24 Republican congressional seats to Democrats.

His opponent, Darcy Burner, conceded tonight after The Associated Press determined that Reichert’s lead for the 8th District seat was insurmountable.

In an interview this evening, Reichert said he believed he won because people in the district knew that “what you see is what you get.”

“I think that there’s no rebranding that had to be done here in this campaign,” he said. “My years of public service have built a record that people in this community recognize.”

Burner did not call Reichert to concede tonight and could not be reached for comment. In a statement, she said: “It is likely at this point that Congressman Reichert has won re-election, and while we will certainly ensure that every valid vote is counted, we accept the decision of the voters.

Darcy Burner lead yet another lie filled resume exagerated campaign and came close to defeating the incumbent, thanks in part to millions of out of state dollars funneled in to help her.

But in the end, her resume distortions and attempts to brand him “another George Bush fell short.

Clearly she has a deep ambition for power and will stop at nothing to win, but this year, cooler heads prevailed.  Next time, maybe she should just admit she is an unqualified hack, but point out that it is not a disqualifying condition.  Look at Obama.

So anyway, the dhate machine failed to unseat one important seat here in the mostly blue wasteland of Washington. 

But she will be back to try again, until she finds the lie that works….
