The results from the latest special congressional election are in and, like the two before it, the news is not good. We've now had three Republican seats in a row fall to the Democrats in the last few months in districts that George Bush carried easily in 2000 and 2004.

This is more evidence that the Republican "brand" is in trouble. And, quite frankly, it's in trouble because it's been sullied bya number ofour elected officials.
