Another one bites the dust.
An incumbent Republican Senator, Robert Bennett from Utah, lost his reelection effort over the weekend.
Today, Democratic Congressman Alan Mollohan lost in his primary:
Democrat Alan Mollohan's 28-year run in the House of Representatives is over.I suspect this will only heighten the panic that is permeating the House Democratic Caucus.
With 71 percent of the precincts reporting, state Sen. Mike Oliverio had nearly 56 percent of the vote compared to Mollohan's 44 percent.
Tuesday's vote made Mollohan the first House incumbent in the country to lose his seat this year.
Mollohan was dogged by ethical questions, and the more conservative Oliverio ran an aggressive campaign portraying him as corrupt and disconnected.
