In a special election that took place on Tuesday in Missouri, Democrats fared very well in three House races in conservative districts. We retained one seat, picked up one seat, and came within 200 votes of picking up another. To put these districts in perspective, George Bush won all three by 52%, 59%, and 71% respectively.
I guess losing by a couple of hundred votes in one of the most conservative districts in Missouri is one of those missed opportunities that "senior Democrats" were bitching about in yesterday's Times. Or maybe, they were complaining that in the generic Congressional poll Dems are leading the GOP 51-37, the highest number in twenty years.
Now I will admit that I don't put much faith in generic polls, it's kind of like measuring temperature with your hand instead of a thermometer, but hot is hot, and this poll seems to indicate a heat wave for Democrats in the fall.
I think it's about time those "senior Democrats" climbed down out of their ivory tower to take a gander at what's going on outside of the beltway. We have built momentum all across the country.
Victory, smell it bitches!
