6. I lived in Walsh's district when he won
Wed May 2, 2012, 12:22 PM
May 2012

and he won by only 295 votes.

The incumbent, Melissa Bean, was shocked, as most of us were.

One of the big reason this idiot won was that a "third party" candidate ran

and garnered the votes Melissa would have received.

My understanding, as an activist in the district, was that Bill Scheur ran

against Melissa, not because he thought he could win, but because he had a personal

grudge against her, which, if true, was a dumbass thing to do.

Bean wasn't a progressive, but she was a HELL of a lot better than this moron.
