Democrat Travis Childers beat Republican Greg Davis for a congressional seat in Mississipi’s first district, the first time it’s gone Democratic since 1994. Bush won that district with 59% of the vote in 2000 and 64% in 2004. Denny Hastert’s Illinois seat went Democratic in March, after Hasert’s 20 year run, and Democrats took a Louisiana seat in early May, one long-held by Republicans.
We,republican voters,put these people in office and they have really let us down. I don’t see how they are going to convince the American public to keep them in office. My votes,as well as many other peoples,have turned into a vote against a candidate rather than a vote for a candidate.
What I’d really like to see is a strong independant or libertarian candidate. Bob Barr it is not.
TDro~ no one in the Democratic party has really cared, but just wait until the general election. The conservatives are going to continue with this, even if he’s elected. Every decision they don’t like will be traced to the influence of the ‘unrepentant terrorist’ William Ayers, or hearing the inflamed preaching of Wright, or being ‘the most liberal senator in Congress’… It’s not going to stop.
What’s really cool is that the Repubs tried desperately to play the Rev. Wright “guilt by association” card – AND NOBODY CARED!!
Awesome!
The NY times was reporting the sudden new GOP strategery to ‘distance’ themselves from Bush.
How so very much too little too late. Seven years of completely unprincipled support of torture, executive power, deceit, lobbyists . . .
Well, frankly of an administration that would be dismissed as unbelievable combination of evil and incompetent if someone wrote them as the villains of a dime store pulp novel. One half expects to see Cheney choke someone in a rage screaming “Why am I surrounded by incompetent fools!”.
And *now* they suddenly realize that their constituents don’t feel this was in their interests.

The bloggysphere, esp the Afrosphere, are up in arms over this development. They’re saying it’s a sign of the GOP Apocalypse. Even Mike Huckabee sees it and is saying that Republicans can’t run on the Republican brand anymore.
What, so are they gonna run as independents? Hmm…might work.
