Democrat wins House seat formerly held by Republican in Louisiana

UPDATE: More analysis of what this means from the Washington Post.

Here's some good news for a Saturday night. The Democrats picked up a House seat tonight in Louisiana.

Democrat Don Cazayoux beat Republican Woody Jenkins in the seat formerly held by Republican Richard Baker. With all but three of the 512 precincts reporting, Cazayoux is ahead by just under 3,000 votes.

The NRCC was, of course, very shady in this race. The GOPers pumped in lots of money to keep the seat, and even ran negative ads featuring Obama and Pelosi. Freedom Watch was also involved in this race. That group's t.v. ad was pulled off the air by a Baton Rouge station -- and the DCCC has filed FEC and IRS complaints against it.

Not a good year to be a Republican anywhere.
