3 out of 4 House seats are now in the Democratic Party's hands!
With 89% of the precincts reporting Democrat Travis Childers won Mississippi's 1st District 52% to 48% in this traditional GOP stronghold. This is the third Republican district to embrace the Democrats in as many months, Robo-calls by the President and Laura Bush or John McCain couldn't save it, a surprise appearance by Dick Cheney couldn't save it.
Not even race baiting comparisons to Barack Obama worked there, unlike what seems to have happened in West By God -- which evidently still prides itself on it's bigotry despite owing its very existence to a rejection of the break-away slave-owning Confederacy.
If I were an aid to a Republican politician, one thing I'd set aside time to do this summer is updating my resume. It's going to be bleak for these folks.

Exposing the lack of compassion by conservatives and
debunking right wing hypocrisy at every opportunity.
