"St. Paul voters punished Mayor Randy Kelly on Tuesday for standing with President Bush a year ago, denying the Democrat a second term in Minnesota's capital city.

Former City Council member Chris Coleman, also a Democrat, routed Kelly by a more than 2-to-1 margin in unofficial returns with most precincts reporting. Ahead of the election, independent polls showed voters were primed to fire Kelly, and most cited his 2004 endorsement of the Republican president as the reason."

Bush is radioactive.

Ed Kilgore* comments on the Kaine's BIG victory in Virginia...

tpmcafe.com

Nov 08, 2005 -- 09:46:45 PM EST

Kaine ran ahead of Mark Warner's winning percentage in 2001 in the Northern Virginia suburbs, in Richmond, in Norfolk, and in Charlottesville. Kilgore did better in many rural counties, especially in and near his southwest Virginia base, but not by much, and without any sizeable increase in Republican turnout.

This is a big win, folks. Tim Kaine, a former civil rights attorney, big city mayor, and death penalty opponent, beat the long-groomed, geographically advantaged candidate of a united GOP in a state that hasn't gone Democratic in a presidential election since 1964.

It makes it that much sweeter that George W. Bush flew into Richmond on election eve to lend his dubious prestige to ol' Jerry.

This is a clear national defeat for the GOP, and a good sign for next year.
