I volunteered for her first campaign in 1996 for over a year and really, really like her. This is a majority Democrat district and every race she's ever run has been a tight, down-to-the-wire affair. Her 4 point victory two years ago was considered pretty comfortable. She beat Miller like a rented mule: <b>60-38</b>. Usually we get to hear her victory speech sometime around 11 PM. Last night I was congratulating her - <i>after</i> her speech - at around 8:30 (the race was actually called for her 25 minutes after the polls closed but she waited until 8 so that people - like me - who didn't get to leave our election day postings until 7 could get there). Mongiardo was also a Kentucky race - against Senator Bunning. Thanks to some impolitic comments by Bunning and a dastardly smear campaign by the local media using those statements as the basis for insinuating that Bunning had gone senile, Dr. Dan actually closed a 15-20 point gap in the last month. But when the returns finished coming in, Bunning had won by 2%, the same margin he won by six years ago. And that, I suspect, was the best performance of any of Kos' donees.
