Hillary beat Barry by 41-points in West Virginia, which to her means that she’s the only candidate who can blah, blah, yack.
Democrat Travis Childers, the favorite going into the voting last night, defeated Republican Greg Davis by eight points in a special Congressional election in Mississippi. This was expected, but the New York Times is overly excited anyway:
Democrats scored a remarkable upset victory on Tuesday in a special Congressional election in this conservative Southern district, sending a clear signal of national problems ahead for Republicans in the fall.
No, Davis was not the best of candidates and the GOP didn’t want to spend the money required to win this race, only to have to spend it again in the Fall. Childers won because he was able to fight Republican attempts to link him to the party’s Presidential candidate, Barack Obama. Childers denied the existence of Obama, and won. This bodes very poorly for the Democratic national ticket this fall.
