Louisiana Special Election

The Democrats picked up another seat in the House over the weekend, winning one of the two special elections for vacated GOP seats in Lousiana (a Republican held onto the other seat). Apparently there is another seat in Mississippi vacated by a Republican that will be up next weekend. Democrats and Obama focused on the win as a sign that the party's fractured presidential campaign season has not weakened their electoral strength overall.
