Word at Versailles: Raul lost, blame the Democrats
The Miami-based blog, Versailles Beat, says national Democrats blew Raul Martinez's bid to oust Lincoln Diaz-Balart by not offering enough support.
"The Republicans did everything they had to do to win, and politics is war," the blog says. "I admire their tenacity in this case (I only wish the Charlie Crist loyalist idiots running the McCain campaign in Florida were as focused, but that's a subject for another post)."

Is it okay to blame Barack Obama?!? Clearly, he didn't have coattails.
And the incumbent Dems in Broward and Palm Beach County didn't help much either..... didn't Meeks, Wexler, Wasserman-Shultz, Klein and Hastings tell the Dems running against the incumbent Reps. in Dade and Broward that they would rather work with the Reps. then work with rookie Dems?
