Flat Earth Five Take Heavy Hits in Voting

Five House members targetted by the League of Conservation Voters for their denial of climate change took heavy hits in Tuesday's election. Defeated were Ann Marie Buerkle (R-NY 24), Francisco Canseco (R-TX 23), and Joe Walsh (R-IL 8). The races for two others, Dan Benishek (R-MI 1) and Dan Lungren (R-CA 7) remained too close to call late into the evening.
