Harbinger of Doom for the Rethugs?

Lost in all the media coverage of Hillary Clinton's huge win in West Virginia was this story: In one of the most conservative districts in Mississippi, Travis Childers, the Democrat, won an open House seat by about 8 points over his Rethug competition.

Note that this was in a district that voted overwhelmingly for Baby Doc Bush (62%) just four short years ago.

Note that this took place even after his Rethug opponent spammed the airwaves with a television ad that attempted to Willie Hortonize Childers with a blatantly racist guilt-by-association screed on Childers' endorsement by the "liberal Barack Obama", and topped off the sundae with a Reverend Wright cherry.

It didn't do him any good. Childers still won, and this victory represents the disgust that rank-and-file Republicans must be feeling toward their own party and what it has done to attempt to destroy our democracy over the last seven years.

It's shaping up to be a Democratic sweep, even way down ticket, in November. Unless the lying cheating stealing Rethugs can figure out how to steal the election again. Which they will do unless we turn out in such massive numbers that there's no way they will be able to switch a few votes and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
