Does 'send home' mean 'make a candidate defeated' ? Namely the candidate will return from Washington to their home state.
Bill Cassidy, a doctor and Republican congressman, defeated three-term Senator Mary L. Landrieu in a runoff election in Louisiana Saturday, sending home the last Deep South Democrat in the United States Senate, according to The Associated Press _________________ Hiromichi |
