Mia Love loses House bid in Utah
(CNN) - With 100% of the precincts counted, CNN projects Utah's incumbent Republican Rep. Jim Matheson won re-election after besting Mia Love in a high-profile congressional race that captured national attention.
Matheson, no stranger to tough elections, is a six-term Democrat in a largely Republican district that includes Salt Lake City.
Love, a Mormon of Haitian descent, currently serves as mayor of Utah's Saratoga Springs. She was considered a rising star in the Republican Party, and spoke at the Republican National Convention in August. At one point, she rose to a double-digit lead in polls in one of the nation's most hotly contested races. Both sides and outside parties collectively spent upwards of $10 million.

Cheers from Romania. "CNN projects Utah's incumbent Republican Rep. Jim Matheson". I believe he's a Democrat.
The first sentence in the article above is incorrect.
Jim Matheson is NOT a republican, he is a DEMOCRAT
That's a shocker. Wasn't she comfortably ahead in all the latest polls?
God bless my president, Obama12.
You did lose that!
