Dejected House Dems wipe away tears as GOP celebrates victory - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room

Dejected House Dems wipe away tears as GOP celebrates victory - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room: "Freshman Rep. Debbie Halvorson (D-Ill.), who lost her reelection bid, wiped away tears as she hugged fellow members of the class of 2008, many of whom lost on Nov. 2.

Less than three feet away, ousted Nevada freshman Rep. Dina Titus (D) appeared to brush away some tears in a less obvious manner."

Heart-breaking. To think that these fledgling members of Congress are being evicted from their seats after only two years, before they could dig themselves in like ticks and become unaccountable, perpetually re-elected incumbents like the rest of the House.
