Obama has proven to the SDs last night and in Illinois that has "down ticket" value. And despite the Republican attacks, invoking the name of Obama, a Democrat won in a district that has been Republican for the last 25 years. I look forward to reading Sen. Clinton's congratulatory note.
"*** UPDATE *** Obama issued this statement last night: I congratulate Congressman-elect Don Cazayoux on his victory tonight. By electing Don in this traditionally Republican district, the people of Louisiana rejected the politics of division and distraction, and voted for real change. Don's victory sends a clear sign that the American people are ready to turn the page on the failed policies of the past eight years. And I look forward to working with him in the coming months to fix our economy and lift up America's hardworking families."
