The incumbent who lost was Congressman Dave Reichert, the former sheriff. He lost to Darcy Burner who, despite having the IQ of a celery stalk, was never "gotcha-ed" by the press. She makes the ideal drone for Obama (which was her main campaign promise).
Rossi lost but what else could you expect from a state that voted to raise its taxes for the second time in a row. That's right, the morons voted to increase the sales tax again to pay for the mass transit that no one will ride. |

Dino wasn't the incumbent, but he should have been. In one of those interesting, "Democrats never commit voter fraud" cases, Dino won Washington 4 years ago, but after three recounts the Democrats in King County kept "finding" votes that hadn't been counted, resulting in a approximate 100 vote win. |
