Now his failure is complete.
wow... i am a bit surprise at this. was looking yesterday at this race and had nearly given up that seat as a disastrous loss.
CONGRATULATIONS, Mr.Issa!
Hooray!

I am so glad! I don’t live in his district, but I do live in the same county. This election season I have given up listening to the radio and watching the local news on TV due to the constant ads running against Issa. I couldn’t stand the ads.
There was some serious, major money dumped into this race to pay for all the advertising. Much more money than could be raised locally by a retired Colonel to pay for a congressional run.
It seemed to me to be the money against Issa was in retaliation against his (ineffectual) Benghazi hearings.
Poor Christina Applegate! Why would Isis hate her???
