    There was another election last night... A Dem pulled 49% in a deep, deep red district. Note: A Green drew 1% and a con independent drew 3%. for some reason unique to Mississippi, the names of the defeated primary opponents were also included on the ballot. The Repub drew 1% and the Dem drew 2%. What it all adds up to is that the Dems and Green pulled in over 50%.
    Did I mention this was in Mississippi? A long Fall is looming for the GOP.

    OK, I checked kos for BT, but there's nothing new there. I did, however, see the results from the other PA primary:

    McCain 72.7
    Paul 15.9
    Huckabee 11.4

    That's a stunner. Over 27% of Republicans voted against the Party's already decided nominee. This is a definite harbinger of big problems for the GOP.

    Kinda like Hillary won 55% of Michigan against nobody, does this mean bigger problems for Dem?
