This is a good thing. Patrick Mara the "Republican" candidate for DC Council does not support the 2nd Amendment and advocated for the ridiculous idea of DC Congressional "voting rights." He is a liberal on many social issues also. He would have been a bad leader for the party in the nation's Capital.
That being said, with the vast array of choices in this special election it is somewhat ironic that DC voters once again picked a candidate from southeast DC who has been accused of corruption (Marion Barry, Vince Gray...and now Vincent Orange, the latest once-again member of the DC Council.)

File This Under "Be Thankful For The First Amendment."
The Constitution has been weakened and abused over the last 7 to 8 decades, yet Americans still enjoy strong free speech rights. Such is not the case in the rest of the world. Even the English speaking world:
A Canadian comic has been ordered to pay CA$15,000 (US$15,745) to a woman he taunted along with her same-sex partner during a show in a Vancouver restaurant three years ago, the Vancouver Sun reported Thursday. Stand-up comedian Guy Earl was ordered to pay the money to Lorna Pardy, 32, while the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal also ordered the Vancouver restaurant owner, Salam Ishmail, to pay her $7,500. Pardy said Earle directed homophobic and sexist insults at her when she was a patron, and he was the master of ceremonies at an open mic comedy show at the restaurant in 2007. http://www.myfoxny.com/dpps/news/lesbian-insults-get-comic-fined-dpgonc-km-20110421_12871288
