Kilpatrick gets blown out; but wins primary election
August 6, 2008
Congresswoman Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick virtually won reelection last night. Even though 32,462 people voted for some else (over her 20,888 votes). Had Mary Waters or Martha Scott sat this election out, Cheeks Kilpatrick would be in the unemployment line today.
- Carolyn C. Kilpatrick 20,888 — 39%
- Mary Waters 19,183 — 36%
- Martha Scott 13,280 — 25%
The voters of Michigan’s 13th District sent an overwhelming message: “We don’t want you in Congress.” However, becasue of the egos of Walters & Scott, back to congress Kilpatrick will go.
Those two should be ashamed of themselves!
First of all, she received the most votes. Second, 34,000 voted aginst Walters, and 40,000 aginst Scott.
