Seven-term Rep. Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick (D-MI) became the latest congressional casualty in a primary season fraught with anti-incumbent furor early Wednesday morning.
State Sen. Hansen Clarke (D) upset Kilpatrick in a stunner to secure the Democratic nomination in Michigan's 13th Congressional district. Kilpatrick became the fourth House member to lose their primary this year. Primary voters have already shown Reps. Alan Mollohan (D-WV), Bob Inglis (R-SC) and Parker Griffith (R-AL) the door. Incumbent Sens. Bob Bennett (R-UT) and Arlen Specter (R-PA) also lost their primaries.
But Kilpatrick's surname appeared to be a strike against her this time. Her son is Kwame Kilpatrick, the former flamboyant mayor of Detroit. The younger Kilpatrick is now jailed after violating his probation on state felony charges. Authorities had charged him with perjury and obstruction of justice before he resigned. A federal grand jury indicted then indicted the former mayor in June for allegedly misusing campaign dollars.

Get with the times, Fox... Specter is now a (D).:hammer:
-
She should have tried campaigning without using her last name like Harry Reid's son is doing. :lmao:
-
"Vote for Kwame's Mommy" just doesn't have the right ring to it.

Spectre has ALWAYS been a (D)ickhead. He just took off the sheep's clothing last year.

And Parker Griffith had been a Democrat until he switched over to the GOP side last year.
