AP has announced that two GOPers have survived in very different environs. Rep. Mark Kirk (R-IL 10) defeated '06 nominee Dan Seals (D) 55-45% in a CD that undoubtedly gave Barack Obama a huge margin tonight.
Meanwhile, in John McCain's homestate of AZ, Rep. John Shadegg (R-AZ 03) held off a furious charge by atty Bob Lord (D) and the DCCC, winning 54-42%. Sensing an opportunity, the DCCC dumped over $2M into the race. But Shadegg's on-again/off-again retirement wasn't enough to shake voters' confidence in him.
