Ex-rocker John Hall has kicked longtime Republican Sue Kelly out of office in a Congressional race. Hall, who wrote the 1970s pop tunes "Still The One" and "Dance With Me" with his group Orleans, had his shocking victory for the Democratic Party confirmed in upstate New York Wednesday. His election campaign had included endorsements by a number of musicians including Bonnie Raitt, Steve Earle, Pete Seeger and Jackson Browne. Hall said, "When I make a record, it's 110 per cent, when I run for office, it's 110 per cent." He closed his victory speech by singing Steven Can Zandt's song "I am a Patriot."
