Dems Win Second Seat In Solidly GOP District

The Hill:

House Democrats continued to expand their majority Saturday night after Louisiana state Rep. Don Cazayoux emerged victorious in a special election for retired Rep. Richard Baker's (R) district.

The win comes two months after Democrats picked up their first seat of the year. In March, Democrat Bill Foster won the Illinois seat of former House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R). That seat, like the Louisiana contest, was in solidly Republican areas. President Bush carried the Illinois district with 55 percent and the Louisiana district with 59 percent in 2004.

So much for the toxic Obama narrative. I guess the GOP and the media will have to come up with something else.

They tried to negatively connect him with Obama/Wright, and he still won. The GOP will start getting scared if Obama takes NC by anything more than 9%.

Gee, I don't see the word "toxic" which a previous HuffPost article associated Obama with... Guess Obama's name is not the toxic one after all.
