This is a big relief for those of us who live in this district.  The incumbent, Wayne Gilchrest, is a moderate Republican and decent guy who was defeated in the primary by a conservative hack supported by the Club for Growth.  Gilchrest ended up endorsing Kratovil, the Democrat, in the general. 

When they finished the count on Election Night, Kratovil was up by 915 votes.  After the counting of absentee ballots he has more than doubled his lead to 2,003.  There are still 4,800 provisional ballots to count, but the trends were sufficient for AP and CNN to declare Kratovil the winner.
