Obama on the big win in MS-01

I found this on the Obama website (which is incredible by the way). Despite attempts by the NRCC to use Barack Obama as a wedge in the MS-01 race, Democrat Travis Childers rolled to an 8,000 vote victory.

I want to congratulate Congressman-elect Travis Childers on winning this special election. By electing Travis in this traditionally overwhelmingly Republican district, the people of Mississippi voted to end the politics of division and distraction, and bring about real change. This is the third special election in recent months that Democrats have won in traditionally Republican areas -- an unmistakable sign that Americans want to make a clean break from the failed Bush policies of the past - and are not looking for four more years of those failed policies from John McCain. I look forward to working with Travis in the months ahead to fix our economy, and make a difference in the lives of America's hardworking families.

Although we just slayed the dragon on Tuesday, we have to refocus on November. Greg Davis and the NRCC are not going to go away. Let's make sure we keep Travis in Washington come November.
