Trent is history

“Drop him in Thomson for fertilizer.

Better process it first to remove the toxic crap, though.”

“What, Trent wasn't mad dog enough for ya, X?”

“Didn't he resign before the first of the year so he could bypass the new rule that would make him wait a couple years to become a lobbyist?”

“In what has historically been one of the safest Republican congressional districts in the country, Democrat Travis Childers won the Mississippi special election tonight, beating Republican Greg Davis. The Associated Press called the race for Childers and with 87 percent of the vote in, he held a 51-49 lead.

Childers’ win is significant for the Democrats, because it is the third Congressional seat they have picked up from the Republicans in special elections this year. Combined with these recent wins in Republican districts, Childers' success tonight could foreshadow the Democrats’ ability in November to build on its majority in the House and compete in districts that in the past have been considered solid Republican turf.

On March 8, Democrat Bill Foster won the special election in Illinois for retiring House Speaker Dennis Hastert’s seat, and Democrat Don Cazayouz won the special election on May 3 for the Louisiana seat vacated by Republican Richard Baker.

Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) chairman Chris Van Hollen said Childers’ win “sent a political thunderbolt across America tonight.”

“It is yet another rejection of the House Republican agenda, the Bush administration’s misguided policies, and John McCain’s campaign for a third Bush term,” Van Hollen said in a paper statement.

"We are disappointed in tonight’s election results. Though the NRCC, RNC and Mississippi Republicans made a major effort to retain this seat, we came up short," said Rep. Tom Cole, chair of the National Republican Congressional Campaign.

“It's going to be fun watching the fickle American voting base switch to the Dems this November. But, even more fun is going to be watching all of righties cry to mommy about it.”

“Yeah, and Mommy will be voting democrat too.”
