Veterinarian Ted Yoho Headed to Congress [Sarah Endorsed Conservative Defeated 12 Term Demon Rat]
Veterinary Practice News ^ | 11/7/12

Florida veterinarian Ted Yoho was elected to Congress on Tuesday with a convincing victory over a Democratic challenger and less than three months after he narrowly defeated 12-term incumbent Cliff Stearns in the Republican primary.

Dr. Yoho, 57, turned his attention to politics while working as a large animal veterinarian in Gainesville, Fla. His years in practice and his interaction with farmers, ranchers and business owners made him concerned for "the state of our nation" and led him to realize it was time to "stand up for America," according to his campaign website.

Palin gave us Ted Cruz and Deb Fischer this cycle.

Palin’s candidate (Sarah Steelman, I wonder how different 2012 would have been with her?) lost to Ted Akins in the Missouri primary though, Palin had about 14 campaigns she endorsed and at least 8 victories.

Thanks for the clarification. Never made sense to me that a R dominated legislature would do that. Amazing how it always works in one direction only.

Yup. Not to mention those "Independent" redistricting boards in AZ & CA, which always remarkably manages to draw scores of Democrat seats. In Republican AZ, the Dems will have a 5D-4R majority in January (currently 5R-3D) and in CA, we will have apparently 15(!) seats out of 53 in CA (down from 19). Real representative, yessir.

Steelman lost, at least in part, because she had sold her soul to the trial layers.

It’s too bad the tea party candidate lost, Akin didn’t work out so well.
