LCV--The Mark of Cain

It's never too late to gloat. Kos points out that the anti-environmental members of congress branded by the League of Conservation Voters as their "Dirty Dozen" fared very poorly. Here's how he laid it out:

Sen. George Allen (R, VA) -- lost to Jim Webb

Sen. Conrad Burns (R, MT) -- lost to Jon Tester

Sen. Rick Santorum (R, PA) -- lost to Bob Casey

Sen. Jim Talent (R, MO) -- lost to Claire McCaskill

Rep. Dan Boren (D, OK-02) -- still around

Rep. Henry Cuellar (D, TX-28) -- ugh, fake "Democrat" still around

Rep. Katherine Harris (R, FL) -- got crushed by Bill Nelson

Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R, AZ-05) -- lost to Harry Mitchell

Rep. Richard Pombo (R, CA-11) -- lost to Jerry McNerney

Rep. Deborah Pryce (R, OH-15) -- won by a sliver, is quitting after this term

Rep. Charles Taylor (R, NC-11) -- lost to Heath Schuler

Rep. Heather Wilson (R, NM-01) -- survived by a sliver, one of only two R's on this list to do so, and the only one left running again in 2008

If I were Heather Wilson, I'd be thinking that 2008 might be a good opportunity to spend more time with my family.

Sierra's own take on last year's bad guys,"Two Time Losers," had a pretty good batting average too. The ten legislators up for election singled out in that list were challenged both environmentally and ethically. Here's what became of them:

Rep.Randy "Duke" Cunningham (R-Calif.) -- stepped down prior to election

Rep.Tom DeLay (R.-Tex.)-- ditto

Rep. Bob Ney (R-Ohio)-- ditto

Rep. J. D. Hayworth (R-Ariz.)-- lost to Harry Mitchell

Rep. Richard Pombo (R-Calif.) -- lost to Jerry McNerney

Rep. Jim Ryun (R-Kans.) -- lost to Nancy Boyda

Rep. Charles Taylor (R-N.C.) -- lost to Heath Schuler

Sen. Conrad Burns (R-Mont.) -- lost to Jon Tester

That leaves California representatives John Doolittle (R) and Jerry Lewis (R), both still under a cloud of corruption. Perhaps more family time coming up for them too?
