Start calling her Congresswoman BushLast night there were two gigantic progressive wins-- both in Missouri.

Cone Of Shame by Nancy OhanianOklahoma is a Republican hellhole. The Governor is a crackpot Republican as are both U.S. Senators. Of the 5 members of Congress, the only Democrat is Blue Dog Kendra Horn, who is so far right that there are, from time to time, mainstream House Republicans less extreme than she is.

Last year Blue America looked carefully at the race in the west Houston congressional district held by Paul Ryan rubber stamp John Culberson. The district, which went from a pretty red area with a PVI of R+13 in 2015 voted 48.5% to 47.1% for Clinton (after giving Romney a 59.9-38.6% win over Obama) and now has a more manageable R+7 PVI.
