RedState endorsed Chris Hackett looks set to win tonight in Pennsylvania 10. This follows on Pete Olson's win in Texas 22. It's a good night for conservatives in Pennsylvania.
Oh, and congratulations Hillary for finally breaking Obama's glass jaw. And by the margin you beat him, even with Operation Chaos in full operational mode, you did well. We'll be sure to use your precinct by precinct victories against Obama come November. Thanks for doing our GOTV targeting for us.

Pennsylvania's 10th District sat safe in Republican hands since the 1960s--that is, until after the 2006 election, when Rep. Don Sherwood was deservedly bounced from the seat after his involvement in a bizarre episode of adultery, abuse, and cover-up came to light.
The Sherwood saga began in 2004, when one Cynthia Ore locked herself inside the bathroom of his Washington, D.C., apartment, and called 911 to report an assault. When police arrived, she accused the married Congressman of choking her; he countered that he had merely been giving the young woman a massage. No charges were filed, as "Both parties have left out significant information or are not willing to discuss in detail what actually happened," according to the police report.
The report went unnoticed until 2005, when Veronica Hannevig, who had run against Mr. Sherwood on the Constitution Party ticket in 2004, distributed a copy to several newspapers and television stations. Mr. Sherwood initially claimed that Ms. Ore was merely a "casual acquaintance". He later admitted to a five-year adulterous affair with her, but denied abusing her.
Ms. Ore later filed a $5.5 million lawsuit against Mr. Sherwood, accusing him of repeatedly assaulting her during their relationship. On November 8, 2005, the two announced that they had reached a settlement, but did not reveal its details.
