Democrats Win Another Seat

Obama won big in Wyoming today, but that was pretty much expected. The count was 61-38.

The real big news is that the Democrats picked up another seat in the house. Even bigger, it was for the seat vacated by former GOP speaker Dennis Hastert. More than the extra seat, the symbolic win is a great morale booster for democrats. It might mean another big swing in congressional races.

UPDATE:
As Glenn Greenwald points out here, not only was this a majority Republican district that just elected a Democrat, but he won by running against FISA and the Iraq war. There's a lesson here...
