Trifecta for Chris and DCCC

Hillary's win in West Virginia has dominated press coverage tonight but the story that should have Republicans quaking is that Democrats won the special election runoff for Mississippi's First District. Chris Van Hollen's DCCC has now won three special elections in Republican territory:

Illinois 14. Former Speaker Denny Hastert's district went 55% for Bush in 2004 and is now held by Democrat Bill Foster.

Louisiana 6. Democrats didn't even field a candidate against the incumbent in 2002, 2004, or 2006, but Democrat Donald Cazayoux now holds this district where Bush scored 59% of the vote in 2004.

Mississippi 1. Republican Roger Wicker never won less than two-thirds of the vote since his first election in 1994. Bush won 62% of the vote in 2004 here but Democrat Travis Childers won the seat tonight with 52% of the vote.

Update: The Washington Post stole my, admittedly not that original, headline.
