WLBT 3 - Jackson, MS: Childers Wins MS Congressional District 1 Special ElectionMarty Wiseman, a political scientist at Mississippi State University, said if Democrats can carry districts that traditionally have been safe bets for the GOP, "Republican strategists have to be terrified."
"If you think about the House and the Senate ... and the number of Republican Senate seats that are exposed, this could turn into something bigger than the presidential race this fall," Wiseman said.
And it was worth my while to check Y'all Politics:
After a long night of election watching, it's time to evaluate the results. Here are my thoughts.Obviously going to be a long day at GOP HQ.
The Louisiana congressional race was not a fluke
This is officially a trend. The numbers bear it out. Republicans (not necessarily conservatives) are rudderless right now. To have someone in office now (Childers) who will vote in lockstep with Nancy Pelosi, call himself a conservative and get away with it spells doom. Without some major outside intervention, Dems will pick up seats this fall. It is now just a question of how many.
'Ends justifies the means' racial politics still work
The DCCC may have had fun at the party, but Mississippi will be left with the hangover.
