The most significant result of the night is in Mississippi's 1st district, not Pennsylvania (which Jonathan Singer live-blogged at MyDD). In MS-01, Democrats forced a run-off. Democrat Travis Childers took 49% of the vote against Republican Greg Davis, and if you combine the other Democrats in with Childers, Democrats took more than 50% of the vote. And this is an R+10 district.
Think about that a while the next time someone says to you that it doesn't matter that Obama is doing well in Red States because he isn't going to win them anyway. With a well funded campaign and everyone on board and pulling together (to mix a metaphor) I can see a 100+ electoral vote win here.
Of course .. i could just need stronger meds .. but a man can dream
