The Democrats solidified their congressional takeover with their 30th pickup last night in a runoff election in Texas. Democratic candidate Ciro Rodriguez defeated incumbent congressman Henry Bonilla. Maybe this news will cheer some of you up this morning.

UPDATE: Commenter 'jcricket' at Balloon Juice sums up the significance of these wins: "So, Democrats didn’t lose a single seat, governorship or house of Congress that they were defending. They picked up the US House, Senate, 6 governorships, took control of like 9 state legislatures and increased their control in nearly every state legislature they already controlled. All this after 6 years of total Republican control and a totally gerry-mandered era that was supposed to deliver a permanent Republican majority." Yep. FYI- this is also the largest majority since 1848.

But I'm sure the 'liberal media' will still say America hates Democrats, progressives, and liberals.
