Democrat Travis Childers won the special election last night in Mississippi's 1st Congressional District. Terry Samuel wrote about the race for TAP Online on Friday:
The election is producing extraordinary levels of GOP anxiety, because of what it says about Republican prospects in November. While losing any congressional seat these day is distressing for a Republican Party looking for ways to rebuild a majority in the House, to lose this particular seat, in this particular state, is to confront just how much trouble Republicans are in with voters all over the country. Mississippi is the last place Republicans should be in trouble.
Well, they're in trouble.
