Mississippi Democrat Travis W. Childers gains a seat in the House
The post, which had been in Republican hands for 14 years, is that party's third big loss in the chamber this year.
From the Associated Press
May 14, 2008

JACKSON, MISS. -- Mississippi Democrat Travis W. Childers won a special election to Congress on Tuesday, helping his party to a third victory this year for seats that had long been in Republican hands.

The victory puts Childers into the House seat vacated by Roger Wicker, a Republican appointed to the U.S. Senate when Trent Lott resigned. The win also gives the Democrats a 236-199 majority in the House -- if only for a few months, until November's general elections.

With 99% of the precincts reporting, Childers had 54% to Republican Greg Davis' 46%.

2. Nope, but at least he has a D behind his name
I'll take a blue dog over a puke anyday. I really enjoy watching the RNC go ballistic everytime they lose a "safe" seat.
