Rep. John Boccieri (D-Ohio), who held a now-infamous news conference to announce his vote switch in favor of the final healthcare bill, lost his reelection bid by a large margin Tuesday to Republican Jim Renacci.

Citing cost concerns, Boccieri voted against an early version of healthcare reform, but for the final version after heavy lobbying from the Democratic leadership.

At his final campaign rally in Cleveland last week, President Obama called Boccieri "one of my favorite congressmen."

With 85 percent of the vote in, Boccieri hasn't cracked 40 percent of the vote against Renacci.
