In fact, every candidate Michael personally campaigned for during the election cycle went down to defeat.
Michael traveled to Colorado twice to campaign against pro-life Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, a Colorado congresswoman. He even attended a late October debate between Musgrave and her opponent and shouted at her when the event concluded.
But his efforts failed as Musgrave defeated her opponent, pro-abortion state Rep. Angie Paccione, a candidate Michael endorsed.
Meanwhile, Michael traveled to Colorado in July to host a fundraiser for Congressional candidate Peggy Lamm, who proceeded to lose her Democratic primary the next month.
Michael Schiavo didn't fare too well in Connecticut either, where he campaigned for Greenwich businessman Ned Lamont. On Tuesday, Lamont lost his bid to replace Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman.
Lieberman has also voted for a Congressional bill that said federal courts should review the lawsuit Terri's parents filed to stop Michael from killing her.
Finally, Michael was unable to rally support for a candidate in his home state of Florida.
He backed Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jim Davis, saying he was one of the few politicians who "stood up and acted with conviction.... He stood up not just for me and not just for Terri but for every American."
Davis and Schiavo developed a bond after Terri's death as he called Michael to support him.
Michael's support, however, didn't give Davis enough votes on election night as he lost by a 52-45 percent margin to Charlie Crist.
The defeats probably won't faze Michael, who said during the elections he would do whatever was necessary to target pro-life lawmakers who sided with Terri's parents.
Schiavo said that, while Terri's family works to make sure the disabled and elderly get proper medical care, he will do anything necessary to go after pro-life lawmakers who voted for the bill to support them and back candidates who think assisted suicide and euthanasia is okay.
"I will go as far as I need to go," Schiavo said.
He indicated he will campaign for candidates in other states and likely speak out about the 2008 presidential elections.
Terri spent 15 years in a minimally conscious state, although she was able to communicate in a limited manner with her parents and others. After years of court battles, Michael won the right to kill her via euthanasia and told doctors to remove the feeding tube that provided her with food and water.
Terri died on March 31, 2005 after a painful 13-day starvation and dehydration death.

Michael, you got your blood money, nobody is buying your BS, so go away.
Pro-Life Ping
Ping.
well, being a loser, that just fits in quite nicely....
I see that as more evidence of the liberal mandate that wasn't.

A silver lining in the election.
The only thing, to the survival of the nation, is does pro-choice or not add to Republicans in the government. We really need to do some studies on this and go with whatever helps.
Without a nation, this stuff is meaningless.
Whenever I came to a candidate Michael endorsed, I wrote in Ted Bundy instead.
One would have to have a heart of stone to read that without laughing.
Michael, do yourself a favor and just go away. No, better yet, keep at it. '08 ought to be fun, watching you scramble to support your favored candidates, and watching them scramble to keep you away from them...
His endorsement is the kiss of death.
The people saw him for what he was.
Sounds like that creep wants to spread more death. You got what you wanted, Michael, now get the hell out other people's lives.
Like Mama Sheehan, he is unaware that his time (15 min.) on the world stage is over.
Hehe.
IIRC, Bundy at least feigned remorse at the end.
He wins the right to kill Terri, to legally murder his wife, and he now wants to hurt her parents as much as humanly possible as well as everyone else who had the audacity to speak against EVIL. Monster is too kind a word for him.
"He wins the right to kill Terri, to legally murder his wife, and he now wants to hurt her parents as much as humanly possible as well as everyone else who had the audacity to speak against EVIL. Monster is too kind a word for him."
That's what it was all about for him. He loved the power over her parents. I wondered how he was going to handle having no more power or attention, now that he lost both. It does not surprise me that he is still trying to get attention.
He campaigned for Kathy Castor and she won FL-11.
Pshaw. He can scarcely dream to compare himself to that level of evil. He'd be laughed out of hell.
Castor is also in one of the strongest 'Rat districts in Florida, she got almost 70% of the vote, she probably didn't need to campaign at all.
You're so completely right. His current wife/partner/whatever he's calling her today should be nervous. When people start in with the "Where is he now?" blurbs in the tabloids, he'll start looking for someone else to hurt for loads of cash and attention.
Schiavo would probably do it if he could.
I believe it.
Michael Schiavo, merchant of death.
I agree that the guy has creepy looks. He reminds me of something out of a Nazi propaganda movie. Put him in a Nazi uniform and he'd be believable as a guard at a death camp.
Since most everyone that hates Michael Schiavo did not support Charlie Crist, I guess they didn't exactly get their way either, did they?
Another one who doesn't know when his 15 minutes is up.
"Yes, but the only conservative candidate who got personally involved in the Schaive case, Santorum also was also a big loser."
Something about which you seem very pleased...
Why?
Pro-"choice" is morally wrong, just like slavery was morally wrong. Republicans should oppose pro-"choice" because it's wrong, just like Republicans opposed slavery (while Dems supported it) because of morality.
Sheeehan and schiavo in 2008!??!
he is one sick cookie.
Something about which you seem very pleased... Why?
Actually I predicted it. Polls showed most Americans found this sort of political interference in such a personal matter to be reprehensible.
However I can't say I am pleased, because I have always supported and voted for Santorum, and was extremely disappointed to see him make such political blunders.
Murdering your wife is not a personal matter.
Evil Incarnate.
This is precisely the sort of mindless inflamatory rhetoric that lost the election for Rick Santorum.
They should think twice before accepting his help. Thanks for posting this, wagglebee.
One man's "political blunder" is another man's "standing up for his principles." Some people don't believe in moral relativism.
Michael Schiavo should die of something long and painful.
"If I was in the vicinity of that son of a whore I would not even acknowledge his presence"
Take it easy on his mother.
To her credit - before she died - she did express her worries about her son's behavior.
Right. And simple minded single issue zealots are often blinded as to the real moral context of these issues.
They should just get out of politics because they're not going to make with anybody anyhow.
I'll pray for you.
You need to pray for yourself. You're more in need of it
Really? I'm not the one posting that I hope others will die long and painful deaths. YOU ARE.
May God have mercy on your soul. And relieve you of your obvious suffering.
You are projecting your own problems onto me. You need your prayers more than I do, so do pray.
Michael needs the same opportunity.
Schaedenfreude.
I thought it was going to say he sent $$ to Katherine Harris.
What a despicable man.
They both look a lot like Stalin, though :-)
