The Obama camp better be mentioning this in a conversation with every Superdelegate that will pick up the phone tomorrow.

WY win, and a Downticket win in an insanely red district. Oh, and 55 million in Feb., during a slow economy.

    Can anyone say the something about Hillary? If she is on the top, I think she will have the exact opposite effect on everyone down the ticket. One more reason to contribute for Barack.

  This isn't Utah or Mississippi. IL-14 went:
  
  2004:
  Bush: 55%
  Kerry: 44%
  2000:
  Bush: 54%
  Gore: 42%
  It's the type of place where we can't beat a popular incumbent, but where we have a shot in an open-seat race.
