A double digit win is hardly "holding on".</I> <BR/><BR/>In a district personally gerrymandered for the candidate, with a 2 to 1 majority, Mejias did an amazing job. King should not have had to spend a penny or run a single add to hold with that kind of advantage. <BR/><BR/>Additionally, the district is changing, as is the whole island. It gets bluer each time out. King is the last vestige of the old one party rule, Republican cronyism that plagued the Island for fifty years. His days ARE numbered.<BR/><BR/>Let's also just wait to see what happens next week when the House Republicans start dealing with leadership and committee issues for the next session. King's already lost his chairmanship, lets see where he ends up at the end of the day. We already know without that chairmanship, which allowed him unlimited access to bloviate ad nauseum on TV at will, he will be much less of a national figure. <BR/><BR/>His relevance diminishes daily … by 08 he will be all but irrelevant.Duke Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10372995156231067645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6088051.post-1163079226152088442006-11-09T05:33:00.000-08:002006-11-09T05:33:00.000-08:00Duke, you're delusional.

His campaigning may have added a percent or two, but I don't think he was making a difference. If this was any other year King has over 60% easily or if the dems just through a sacrificial lamb at King this year its probably around 58% anyway, so I don't think Mejias did well at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6088051.post-1163039108792055082006-11-08T18:25:00.000-08:002006-11-08T18:25:00.000-08:00I guess Pete and Karl weren't "doin' the counting"...I guess Pete and Karl weren't "doin' the counting" last night.
