Bad news tonight, but a glimmer of hope.

Mike Flood defeated Patty Pansing Brooks in the Special Election for NE 1 - the seat vacated after Jeff Fortenbury was forced to resign.But the margin in this traditionally safe R district was 52 - 48. We get to do this again in November. We need 3 points.

is 50% +1. Then they act like they got a 90% winning mandate.

And the media goes along with it.
