It's becoming a disturbing trend for Republicans: losing traditional GOP strongholds to Democrats in some hard-fought congressional races.
It happened again Tuesday, as Travis Childers beat Greg Davis in a special election to replace Republican Roger Wicker, who served in the House since 1994 and was appointed to the U.S. Senate to fill the seat vacated by Trent Lott.
Childers' win will give him the chance over the next several months left in the seat's two-year term to build a fundraising and publicity advantage as he heads into November's general election. He will again face Davis, as well as two other opponents.
Childers' win gave Democrats a 236-199 edge over Republicans in Congress.

Mornin' Raine, :coffee:
I say shame on West Virginia and their racist selves - forgive my bluntness, but I've heard too many reports from WV that say that it was out-and-out racism that kept Mountaineers from even considering voting for Obama. So I say screw WV - I am much more impressed that a Democrat won Trent Lott's seat in Mississippi - way to go Dems. Ain't nothin' gonna stop us now. Apologies to the handful of good folks who live in West Virginia who did step outside their comfort zone and cast a vote for the Democratic nominee, Barack Obama. That's my rant for today - now I'll shut-up and go to work :)
Cheers,

He's not a Muslim, people! Try to keep up.
Remember that whole Reverend Wright kerfuffle?? The one good thing that did was kind of PROVE; Barack OBAMA IS NOT A MUSLIM!!!

Ouch. Dana Milbank is brutal ....
2:57 p.m., Yeager Airport, Charleston, W.Va.: A steep descent brings Clinton's plane to Charleston's hilltop airport. After an appropriate wait, she steps from the plane and pretends to wave to a crowd of supporters; in fact, she is waving to 10 photographers underneath the airplane's wing. She pretends to spot an old friend in the crowd, points and gives another wave; in fact, she is waving at an aide she had been talking with on the plane minutes earlier.

The sad and scary thing is that there are plenty of people who think this way... perhaps not consciously, but at some level that they don't examine they "just like Hillary better"...

Edwards didn't even tell many of his former top advisers because he wanted to inform Clinton personally, said the person close to him. Edwards' wife, Elizabeth, who has said she thinks Clinton has the superior health care plan, did not travel with him to Michigan and is not part of the endorsement.
