GOP loses another House seat, pins fortunes on using term "Democrat Party"


Defeated Mississippi House candidate Greg Davis enjoys a moment of levity with Vice President Dick Cheney.

After the Democratic candidate Travis Childers beat the Republican Greg Davis for the open House seat in Mississippi to replace Republican Roger Wicker, GOP operatives were working overtime doing major damage control. Naturally, Tom Cole, the embattled chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, spun it this way:

Republicans must be prepared to campaign against Democrat [sic] challengers who are running as conservatives, even as they try to join a liberal Democrat [sic] majority.

How could things get worse for the National Republican Congressional Committee?
