GOP Down

Great news out of Mississippi:
Mississippi Democrat Travis Childers won a special election to Congress on Tuesday, helping his party to a third victory in recent months for seats long in Republican hands...

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

...Childers took on Davis for a Mississippi seat that has been held by the GOP since 1994.
Even better news: the GOP tested their fall strategy by trying to tie Rev. Wright around Childers' neck -- and lost:



In other news, perhaps indicative of why a Dem just won a Red district, President Bush revealed he has given up golf for the duration of the Iraq War, for all the best reasons:
"I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the Commander-in-Chief playing golf."
Fortunately he'll be able to hit the links again towards the end of January.
