>Bush praises GOP wins in Ohio, Virginia

Wed Dec 12, 2007, yahoonews.com

WASHINGTON - President Bush took heart Wednesday in Republican wins for House seats in Ohio and Virginia.

He called the GOP winners of Tuesday's special elections in both states, which allowed their party to maintain control of the seats and disappoint Democrats who had hoped to extend their gains in the House. Bush called to "congratulate them on their victory and tell them that he looked forward to working with them in Washington," White House press secretary Dana Perino said.

Both elections on Tuesday were to complete the terms of lawmakers who died. Jo Ann Davis, who had represented a southeastern Virginia district for seven years, died of breast cancer in October. Rep. Paul Gillmor, first elected in a northwest Ohio district in 1988, died in a fall in September.

In Ohio, state Rep. Bob Latta defeated a Democrat making her third run for the seat. And in Virginia, Rob Wittman, a first-term Republican state legislator, easily won.<
