		<description><![CDATA[Back when Democrat Heath Shuler was running for U.S. House there was an awful lot of talk about how having any Democrat would be better than any Republican. Of course, it really doesn&#8217;t matter when the Democrat being elected is just as conservative as the Republican he replaced.

6th Congressional District candidate Jay Ovittore passed with flying colors. Teresa Sue Bratton &#8212; well, not so much:
