Holy Crap????

The story, "Democrat Dan Bartlett wins Texas State Rep. District 97", might not sound like much, but take a look at the historical numbers for this district:

District 97 - Profile

Year Race	Dem Candidate	Percent Vote
2000 PRES	Gore	34.1%
2002GOV	Sanchez	36.1%
2004 PRES	Kerry	35.8%
2006 SEN	Radnofsky	33.7%
