Red State Mania

First, the Democrats pick up a House seat in a district where Bush won 57% of the vote in 2000 when Ben Chandler won in Kentucky a week ago.

Now the Democrats have an excellent chance to pick up another seat thanks to Rep. Janklow pulling a Laura Bush, and running over a pedestrian. (And this isn't some crazy-Ann Coulter-esque commentary -- Laura really did kill someone years ago. You can look it up.)

But enough diversions -- Stephanie Herseth, who lost a close race to Janklow in 2002, is running again in a June 1 special election. She's a great candidate and has a long history in South Dakota politics -- her grandfather was governor.

Personal aside: I went to college with Stephanie, although she was a few years ahead of me. She was the head of our College Democrats when I was a freshman and was a great leader back then.

So if anyone is interested in a candidate to support, she's a great one.

(And it would be nice to pick up another seat in a Red State!)
