Democratic Congressman Alan Mollohan (D-West Virginia) will not be running for reelection after being defeated by state Senator Mike Oliverio. The leftist blog Daily Kos is upset about this. They're calling Oliverio a Republican masquerading as a Democrat, and the "Kos" hopes the real Republican wins to prevent another Blue Dog Democrat from "embarrassing" their party.
From Fox News:
Mollohan conceded after unofficial returns showed that with 82 percent of precincts reporting, state Sen. Mike Oliverio was ahead 56 percent to 44 percent. It ends his 28 years in the House.
Mollohan was dogged by ethical questions, and the more conservative Oliverio ran an aggressive campaign portraying him as corrupt and out of touch. Conservative media rallied around Oliverio, along with anti-abortion groups angry over Mollohan's support of health care reform.
