State, National, International, posted by , a resident of , on Nov 29, 2010 at 7:15 am

Congressman Jerry McNerney (D-Pleasanton) has clearly won his re-election bid against Republican challenger David Harmer, finishing a full 1% ahead of Harmer with almost all absentee and provisional votes counted in the four counties the district covers.

Now that he has lost three consecutive races for congress in 3 different districts maybe he will give up. This marked Harmer's third congressional run in three separate congressional districts.n He previously lost congressional races in California's 10th district in 2009 and Utah's 2nd district in 1996.

Just pondering, wonder if his acknowledged LDS Mormon religion was a benefit or problem in his political career? Or perhaps his ties to WaMu and the federal bailout funds he received in his severence package did him in?

Harmer is a "hoot n' a half" - a tad bit pompous methinks and some of us are ETERNALLY grateful he didn't make the "cut"...

Go Jerry go!!!

funny, it was a 1% lead. i didn't see egore quitting and you probably didn't complain about him. it was 1% and a few hundred votes. would you have conceded before they stopped? i don't think so. it was so close he was invited to the freshman meeting. but, contrary to your silly little complaining, he did concede today.
