Just in case you have not heard about it, there is a much more important race going on tonight in Mississippi’s 1st Congressional District.

The Democratic party, who has already taken 2 other special election seats this year, are in a very close running for a third tonight. Travis Childers is facing off against Republican Greg Davis in a race that has gained national attention and has really concerned the GOP amidst the other two losses this year.

Check back later tonight as we get the results in on this important special election.

***Update - 10:15pm EST. ***

Travis Childers (D) has won the Mississippi 1st Congressional District special election race according to MSNBC.

This is now the third seat that the Democrats have now taken over this year. I believe that this is a clear indication of what we may see throughout the rest of this election cycle.
