A constructive reminder…

…from Atrios.

The Dukestir is gone and there's a special election coming up. 50%+ and Francine Busby can win the seat in April, otherwise there will be a runoff in June. Democrats have had excellent luck winning (Chandler, Herseth) or coming close to winning (Hackett) special elections in realtively wingnutty areas, and there's some polling data which adds reason for optimism.

If you're wondering what kind of Democrat Busby is, her campaign site is here, or you can jump straight to the money link.

My kind of Democrat is the kind that will vote for a Democratic Speaker. The rest is detail.
