Republican Joe Walsh wins over Democratic incumbent Melissa Bean by 291 votes. Now he’s gone from being an average ordinary guy to enjoying life in the fast lane as a U.S. Congressman. That brings the total of GOP pickups to 62.
Is you have any other Eagles-related puns, feel free to share them in the comments. (And yes, I know it’s not that Joe Walsh.)

In the long run, I hope the new kid in town works out, that this wasn’t wasted time, and we don’t have to fall back on the last resort.
This, of course, sets the stage for his run for vice president.
